Luis Ellison Mey (born June 24, 2001) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2025.
Career
[edit]Mey signed with the Cincinnati Reds as an international free agent on July 2, 2018.[1] He made his professional debut in 2019 with the rookie-level Arizona League Reds, struggling to an 0–5 record and 8.39 ERA in 13 games (12 starts). Mey did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Mey returned to action in 2021, and spent the next three seasons with the Single-A Daytona Tortugas. In 54 appearances out of the bullpen, he posted an aggregate 5–4 record and 5.64 ERA with 86 strikeouts in 68+2⁄3 innings pitched.[3]
Mey split the 2024 campaign between the High–A Dayton Dragons and Double–A Chattanooga Lookouts, compiling a 2–5 record and 3.44 ERA with 63 strikeouts and 9 saves across 40 total appearances. He pitched in the Arizona Fall League and he was named the league's Reliever of the Year.[4][5] Following the season, the Reds added Mey to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6]
Mey was optioned to the Triple-A Louisville Bats to begin the 2025 season.[7] On May 1, 2025, Mey was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[8]
