Nick Lorusso hit seven home runs last year in 112 games for Double-A Binghamton. He’s hit six in his last 11 games, including one in each of his last three. He hit a solo shot Sunday (see it here) to make it 2-0 in the seventh inning, which proved to be the difference in the Rumble Ponies’ 2-1 win over Richmond. Lorusso, 25, of Carmel, N.Y., plays first, second and third base and was...
Two of the five games scheduled for Saturday were rained out for the New York Mets’ organizational teams, leaving almost half of the initial slate of play. Results varied on Saturday, but strong pitching was a common theme across all levels. Syracuse (Triple-A) is now set for a doubleheader on Sunday with the Buffalo Bisons, and no plans for the makeup of Saturday’s rainout were announced...
Syracuse and Binghamton both had offensive outbursts in their respective wins on Thursday. On the flip side, Brooklyn was swept in a doubleheader while St. Lucie gave up 18 runs in a loss.

The Mets minor league system has not started strong this year, but there are signs players like Jacob Reimer and Zach Thornton could be breaking out. (The latter will get the call to make his first big league start on Wednesday.) Let’s dive into the last week in Mets minor league games. Triple-A Syracuse After a rough week, the Syracuse Mets tied a six-game series against...
Sunday was a day of ups and downs for the Mets’ minor league affiliates, going 2-2, with some prospects taking a step forward, and others a step back. Both Binghamton (Double-A) and St. Lucie (Single-A) were able to pick up wins in fairly close games, while Syracuse (Triple-A) and Brooklyn (High-A) each lost by two runs. The Mets’ No. 5 prospect, RHP Jack Wenninger, lasted just 2.1...
The New York Mets’ farm system saw a mixed bag of results on Saturday night, splitting their four games into a 2-2 record. Xzavion Curry made his debut within the organization, which feels more notable now than before in light of the Clay Holmes injury. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (Double-A) and Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A) struggled at the plate again, as both continue to be offensive...
Jonah Tong was unable to make it out of the second inning in a tough Syracuse loss, Jonathan Santucci had a solid outing but was let down by his defense in a Binghamton defeat, Channing Austin struck out five in a Brooklyn win and Elian Peña continued his onslaught of Low-A in a St. Lucie loss.

While the Mets managed a walk-off against the Tigers, four of their five minor league affiliates took a loss today, with the St. Lucie Mets dropping both games of a doubleheader. Elian Peña stole a pair of bases in the first game of their two-part affair, and Yovanny Rodriguez crushed his fifth home run already at the Rookie level for the FCL Mets. TRIPLE-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 7,...
It’s been a disastrous season not just for the Mets’ major league squad, but their minor league affiliates as well. Three of the four full-season affiliates have losing records, and each team is coming off a series loss. While things are bleak collectively, there are several players who have shined individually. Among those are Ryan Clifford and Jack Wenninger for Triple-A Syracuse....
For the third consecutive Sunday, there was a doubleheader played in the Mets organization, once again by the Rumble Ponies (Double-A). Across all four levels, the Mets’ affiliates went 0-5, truly a poor day for the organization as a whole. Despite the poor team play, there were a few notable player performances. In Triple-A Syracuse, A.J. Ewing and Ryan Clifford each totaled two hits, with...
