Reyes enrolled at ASA College and joined their baseball team where he pitched during his freshman season. He quickly became one of ASA's best pitchers, so the team moved Reyes into their starting rotation after his first outing of the season. In addition to a fastball, Reyes learned to throw a changeup and a slider. He made 9 starts for the Avengers, pitching to a 3–3 win–loss record with a 4.32 earned run average.[1]

In 2016, he played for the Dayton Dragons where he went 5-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 30 games (20 relief appearances), and in 2017, he played for both the Daytona Tortugas and the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, pitching to a combined 8-9 record and 3.60 ERA in 25 total starts between the two teams.[3]
