Reyes started the Futures League game against KT Wiz in Gyeongsan on the 25th and threw 42 pitches in two ⅓ innings, allowing five hits, one walk, and three runs.
He threw eight fastballs of up to 147 kilometers, and prepared for the first-team call-up by throwing all of his pitches, including six two-seam, 14 sweepers, 11 change-ups and three cutters.
Reyes felt pain in his foot in the Cheongbaek match during the Okinawa spring camp and returned home early after being found to have fatigue fractures in his right foot at a Japanese hospital. As a result of re-examination at a domestic hospital, he was found to be better at union than diagnosed at a Japanese hospital, and he said he would schedule training after checking the pain relief through treatment for the next two weeks because it could be temporary pain due to increased exercise. Fortunately, the gap has not been long, but it is not easy until the opening game. Still, he recovered quickly and started pitching in the second division on the 25th.
Reyes, who allowed a left double to the leader Yoo Jun-kyu in the top of the first inning, started with a crisis of first and third bases with no outs after hitting left-handed by No. 2 Ahn Hyun-min. No. 3 Lee Ho-yeon also lost his first point due to a heavy hit. Reyes, who recorded his first out count by catching No. 4 Lee Seung-hyun with a third baseman foul fly with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, then struck out No. 5 Kang Min-sung with three pitches to make two outs. He walked No. 6 Kim Joon-tae to load the bases with two outs, but he caught No. 7 Kim Gun-hyung with a shortstop fly and finished the difficult first inning.

Unfortunately, he failed to finish the top of the third inning after Lee Chang-yong's solo shot tied the score 1-1. The first pitch thrown to No. 3 Lee Ho-yeon after catching the leadoff Ahn Hyun-min with a ground ball in front of the second base became a hit. The ball came dangerously towards Reyes and fortunately hit the glove and became a heavy hit.
He then continued to pitch to Lee Seung-hyun, but he became a right-handed hit and became a first and third base with one out, and when the number of pitches exceeded 40, he was replaced by Kim Yoo-hyun in front of Kang Min-sung.
However, as Kim Yu-hyun had three consecutive hits and even allowed a walk to push, both runners that Reyes put on base scored, increasing Reyes' run to three points.
Reyes started 26 games last year, posting 11 wins, 4 losses and a 3.81 ERA, and became a winning pitcher with four at-bats (one home run), two walks, one strikeout and three runs (one earned run) in six ⅔ innings in the first playoff game against LG, and in Game 4, he became another winning pitcher with three hits and two strikeouts in seven innings, contributing to Samsung's advance to the Korean Series. In addition, he started Game 3 of the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers and recorded five hits, one walk, seven strikeouts, and one run (non-earned) in seven innings, giving Samsung's only victory.
Since he only pitched 40 pitches on the day, it is not known whether he will be in the first team immediately.
