James Earle Reeves (born June 7, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.

Reeves attended Ashley Ridge High School in Summerville, South Carolina, and The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, where he played college baseball for The Citadel Bulldogs. In 2015, he was named the Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year.[1][2][3]

The New York Yankees selected Reeves in the tenth round, with the 303rd overall selection, of the 2015 MLB draft.[2] He made his professional debut in 2015 with the Staten Island Yankees where he pitched to a 1–1 record and 3.08 ERA in 13 games, and began the 2016 season with the Charleston RiverDogs.[4][5] He received promotions to the Tampa Yankees[6] and the Trenton Thunder during the season.[7] In 32 total games between the three teams, he posted a 6–2 record with a 2.22 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. In 2017, he played for both Tampa and Trenton, posting a combined 1.96 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 46 innings pitched between both teams.[8] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On January 6, 2021, Reeves was traded to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Greg Allen.[9]
