I saw Law's blurb who said his changeup was better than the curveball and I disagree wholeheartedly. I think these grades are much closer to what I've seen, though I think the control is high.

Has anyone other than Law rated his changeup better than the curve? Sometimes I think he just says the opposite of everyone else for the sake of relevance. The curve is legit nose to toes and not even comparable to the changeup.

That being said, developing the change a bit more might be important for Reyes. He's sitting on two dominant pitches and would really benefit from having something else to mix things up. I actually don't think its bad but his movement is distinct enough on the pitch that tuned in hitters can see it coming a mile away.
