Reynolds has never made a single error playing left. His 1.000 fielding percentage is tied for the best all time.
Now it’s probably worth mentioning that Wednesday was Reynolds’s first time ever playing a professional game in the outfield. Even in the minors, he never played there. But when the Mets took the field against the Royals, out he jogged to left, giving it a go in a pivotal game against the team that beat the Mets in last year’s World Series.
