The first three-plus months of the 2025 season haven't brought forth consistently positive results for Bryan Reynolds. There have been a fair share of encouraging stretches, but more struggles than the career .273 hitter and two-time All-Star is accustomed to.

Reynolds, who is now slashing .237/.301/.393 with a .694 OPS to go with his 10 home runs and 45 RBIs in 82 games, was at his absolute lowest in early May. His average dropped to .194 on May 14, the final game of an eight-game stretch in which Reynolds registered just a singular hit and 12 strikeouts in 32 at-bats. 

Reynolds has struggled in the past. This is nothing new. But he's always found ways to turn the page and ultimately end the season with commendable results. As of late, it seems as if Reynolds has reached a turning point. Over his last 10 games, he's posted six multi-hit performances and boasted a .357 average to raise his season mark from .219 to .237. He's hit two home runs, drove in six runs and scored nine more.

There are reasons to believe Reynolds can still finish this season with better overall numbers. His best hitting months in his career have been June (.326 career average) and August (.280), and his numbers up to this point haven't exactly matched his expected numbers. His expected batting average, for example, is .283, which ranks him in the 83rd percentile among players in Major League Baseball. He ranks in the 87th percentile in expected slugging percentage at .519.

"Right now, balls are falling," Reynolds told me yesterday. "All my expected numbers are better than they've ever been. Everybody thinks I'm having a terrible year, but I should be having one of my better ones. I wouldn't say I made any drastic changes. I'm still hitting balls that are getting caught, but it feels better when they fall. The season has just kind of been a waiting game, so hopefully the tide has started to turn a little bit."
