\"Who<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Yermain Ruiz was recognized as the organization\u2019s 2024 Latin Program Pitcher of the Year last week,\u00a0he was not the top Red Sox prospect to pitch in the Dominican Summer League this season.<\/p>\n

That distinction would belong to fellow right-hander Dalvinson Reyes.<\/p>\n

Reyes, 17, signed with the Red Sox as an international free agent coming out of the Dominican Republic back in January. The Santa Cruz de Mao received a lucrative $450,000 bonus, making him the highest-paid pitcher from Boston\u2019s 2024 international signing class thus far.<\/p>\n

Prior to making his professional debut in June, Reyes was tabbed by\u00a0Baseball America\u2019s Ben Badler as a name to know\u00a0since he has \u201cthe traits scouts typically gravitate to when looking for a young, projectable starting pitcher\u201d and \u201cthe look of a pitcher who should throw significantly harder.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his first four starts of the season for DSL Red Sox Blue, Reyes allowed eight hits and two walks with 17 strikeouts over 16 scoreless innings in which opposing hitters batted .148 against him. The righty was then shut down for seven weeks as a result of experiencing midseason fatigue. He used that time to focus on strength training,\u00a0according to The Boston Globe\u2019s Alex Speier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
