Malcolm Reyes

Few players ever covered center field like Malcolm Reyes. Tall and impossibly smooth, he turned the spacious Long Beach outfield into a place where fly balls went to die, running down drives that looked like certain extra bases.

At the plate he combined speed with surprising pop, becoming the rare summer-league hitter feared for both his legs and his power.

Reyes was the face of the Lumber during their most competitive stretch, a player opposing coaches planned entire game strategies around.
