The 2026 MLB Draft is complete, and likely the Mets’ chances of going to the postseason too. However, 2026 hasn’t all been bad. One of the most exciting storylines has been the emergence of players like Carson Benge, AJ Ewing and Zac Thornton. The Mets find themselves looking to get younger. They now have a whole new crop of players entering the farm system. Let’s take a look...
While the bat is catching up, Mitch Voit’s speed continues to be his biggest asset. The Mets’ No. 5 prospect collected his team-leading 36th stolen base on Sunday and now sits in third for most stolen bases in the South Atlantic League. He leads all Mets affiliates in steals, with Ji Hwan Bae trailing him with 34 steals. OF John Bay continued his torrid 2026 campaign with another...
Clay Holmes’ next major league start may not be in a Mets uniform. But he suited up for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets on Thursday, his first game action since a come-backer broke his right fibula on May 15 against the Yankees. He allowed two runs on three hits over 2 1/3 innings and threw 28 of 51 pitches for strikes. He walked two and struck out two, including a strikeout of Spencer Jones,...
While it was a relatively quiet day for most of the top Mets’ hitting prospects, Trey Snyder continued his breakout campaign. He finished his day 3-for-4 for the St. Lucie Mets, driving in three and coming up with a clutch two-out, two-run double. He’s now hitting .446/.484/.696 (1.180 OPS) in July, and a promotion to High-A Brooklyn seems imminent. Triple-A Syracuse (48-49) 5,...
The minor league system got going again later in the week, with each team playing in a three-game series. Jonah Tong and Noah Hall were standouts on the mound, with Tong giving up two runs in five innings and Hall allowing just one hit in six innings. Hall hasn’t allowed an earned run in over 17 innings.

MJ Melendez cracked two homers and Luis Robert Jr. added one in Triple-A Syracuse’s 15-2 Saturday night romp of Buffalo. Melendez is on quite the heater, with seven homers in 10 games. Robert Jr. is swinging the bat well, too; 9-for-21 with two homers and a double in his last five games. Christopher Morel also connected for the second-straight night and for the fourth time in his last six...

The University of Arkansas product and the Mets officially came to an agreement, inking the 21-year-old to the full $3,466,500 slot value. He was the 16th player to be selected in the first round from Arkansas in draft history. The Mets drafted him No. 27 overall. Wiggins, brother...
Sunday was the final game for the top four Mets minor league affiliates, and winning was the topic of the day. Although Triple-A Syracuse’s game was canceled due to the field in Norfolk being deemed unplayable, Binghamton, Brooklyn, and St. Lucie all picked up wins, all carrying positive momentum into the All-Star break. Marcus Semien began a rehab assignment in Double-A, belting a home...
