The great eye of Brandon Nimmo, the all-fields hitting prowess of Jeff McNeil, the power of Pete Alonso … and the .341 batting average...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Perfect The Basics In Pirates Sweep

Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball.

And, just like that, the Mets have won 10 of 13 and now have four consecutive series wins. New York will head to LA riding a...

Mets Prospect Calvin Ziegler Needs Tommy John Surgery

Pitching prospect Calvin Ziegler, a 21-year-old who struck out 13 in 6 hitless innings at Single-A Brooklyn to start the season, needs Tommy John surgery, sources told Mike Mayer of MetsMerized Online. Daniel Wexler was the first to report Ziegler was missing the 2024 season. The right-hander missed nearly all of last season due to elbow and quadriceps injuries. The Canadian was selected in the...

Luis Severino Looking Like Reliable Arm for Mets

At first glance, this version of Luis Severino didn’t look much different from last year’s version. As he gave up the most hits (11) that any Mets pitcher has ever given up in a debut, you could hear the “I told you so” grumbles from those who thought the veteran right-hander was finished. Regardless of what you think about the Mets investing in their minor-league...

We Miss You Joe D., Part 1

This week marks a year since we lost MMO founder Joe D., and we will be re-posting a few pieces in memory of him. On Tuesday, his nephew and now site owner, Gino, wrote this piece about Joe. Mojo Hill My first interaction with Joe was seeing a DM from him asking for my shirt size. I joined Mets Minors in 2018 as a junior in high school, mostly for fun and not really thinking it would ever...

Sproat, Tidwell and Scott Pitch Well in Minors

Mets affiliates went 3-1 on Tuesday, including a Syracuse victory that was highlighted by Mark Vientos’ first triple of the year. The Cyclones’ bats remained silent, but St. Lucie’s...

Morning Briefing: J.D. Martinez Not Ready to Join Mets

Good morning Mets fans! The time for J.D. Martinez is near, but not quite yet. Manager Carlos Mendoza said the veteran slugger won’t be able to join the team until after the team’s current road trip concludes on April 24. This means the earliest he could debut is April 26, the opener of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets signed Martinez days before the season began,...

Mets Minors Weekly Report: Pitching Continues Dominating

The second week of the season was a success for the likes of Syracuse and Brooklyn, who won their series, but not so much for Binghamton and St. Lucie, who lost their series. There were several offensive players, such as Rylan Bannon and Alex Ramírez, who shined for their respective teams, but it was really a week dominated by the pitchers, as it was during the first week of the season. Blade...
