2023 Syracuse Season Recap: Top Prospects Shine in Disappointing Season

Following a 2022 season in which the Syracuse Mets posted a disappointing 64-85 record, there was hope that they would be able to turn things around in 2023.

Posting the second-worst record in the International League at 61-85, the...

Stagnant In Syracuse: Eric Orze Fighting For A Major-League Debut

Eric Orze has battled adversity his whole career. From two bouts with cancer, to struggles in both 2022 and 2023 with Triple-A Syracuse, he hasn’t had a smooth road to the big leagues by any means. Back in 2021, when he rocketed through the Mets’ minor league system, it looked as if he could have a meteoric rise to Queens, but he stalled in Triple-A and hasn’t gotten over the...

Luke Voit Continues To Excel With Triple-A Syracuse

Just six days ago, on June 12, the New York Mets signed veteran Luke Voit to a minor league contract. Since then, Voit has impressed mightily with Triple-A Syracuse. Through 27 plate appearances and 15 at-bats (six games) with the Triple-A Mets he owns a terrific 1.460 OPS. This figure is driven by four extra-base hits (two home runs, one triple, one double) and a staggering 11 walks to go along...

Analyzing The Early Season Struggles Of David Peterson

Arguably, the biggest disappointment for the New York Mets through 22 games is starting pitcher David Peterson. The 27-year-old Oregon graduate excelled in spring training, resulting in him rightfully winning the last rotation spot to begin the season. However, he has looked nothing like that pitcher in spring that only allowed one hit over 12 innings of work. Of greater concern, he looks...

After scoring only two runs on Opening Day on Friday, the Triple-A Syracuse Mets offense exploded for 16 runs and five home runs on Saturday in their 16-6 win over the Worcester Red Sox.

Brett Baty Has Monster Game For Syracuse

Brett Baty had a game for the ages for the Syracuse Mets on Saturday. In the second of a three-game series against the Worcester Red Sox, Baty absolutely exploded at the plate with an outing that will live long in the memory and also make it hard for the Mets front office to keep him in Triple-A for much longer. The Syracuse Mets piled on the runs as they beat Worcester for their first win of...
