"In 131 2/3 innings at the major league level, Reid-Foley has posted a 4.10 earned run average while punching out 25.6% of his opponents. His strikeout numbers spiked in 2023-24, in particular, as he fanned nearly one-third of his opponents (backed by a 13.5% swinging-strike rate) - albeit in a small sample of 29 1/3 innings. His workload during those two seasons was cut short by that Tommy John rehab and the subsequent shoulder impingement."
"Reid-Foley split the 2025 season between the D-backs and Mets organizations, pitching exactly 14 innings for each club's Triple-A affiliate. He struggled considerably. In last year's 28 frames, Reid-Foley was roughed up for a 7.07 ERA thanks to a glut of both home runs and walks. Command has long been an issue for Reid-Foley. Even as he's piled up big strikeout totals and rates in prior seasons, he's struggled to keep runners off base due to his lack of precision."
"The 30-year-old Reid-Foley was a second-round pick by the Blue Jays back in 2014 and ranked as a well-regarded pitching prospect for a couple years early in his pro career. He's shown huge swing-and-miss ability but also persistent command troubles - all amid ongoing injury problems. Most notably, he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022, which wiped out more than a calendar year. Reid-Foley also had multiple stints on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement in 2024."
Sean Reid-Foley signed a minor-league contract with the Braves and received no invitation to major-league camp. The 30-year-old was a 2014 second-round pick who ranked as a promising pitching prospect. He offers significant swing-and-miss ability but has persistent command problems and a history of injuries, including Tommy John surgery in 2022 and a shoulder impingement in 2024. In 131 2/3 major-league innings he has a 4.10 ERA and a 25.6% strikeout rate, with strikeout spikes in 2023-24 in limited innings. He struggled in 2025 Triple-A with a 7.07 ERA over 28 innings and carries high walk rates. The Braves' veteran bullpen leaves no clear path to the majors.
