As we get a chance to see a number of the Mets’ top prospects in action this spring including Ronny Mauricio hitting a 450-foot home run and Brett Baty slugging a home run in his first at-bat, top baseball publications are releasing their prospect lists and MLB Pipeline put out their updated top 30 Mets list on Monday.
Here’s the new list:
- Francisco Alvarez – C
- Brett Baty – 3B
- Kevin Parada – C
- Alex Ramirez – OF
- Jett Williams – SS
- Ronny Mauricio – SS
- Blade Tidwell – RHP
- Mark Vientos – 1B/3B
- Dominic Hamel – RHP
- Calvin Ziegler – RHP
- Mike Vasil – RHP
- Joel Diaz – RHP
- Jesus Baez – SS
- Nick Morabito – OF
- Jose Butto – RHP
- Layonel Ovalles – RHP
- Jacob Reimer – 3B
- Dangelo Sarmiento – SS
- Junior Santos – RHP
- Jordany Ventura – RHP
- Stanley Consuegra – OF
- Bryce Montes de Oca – RHP
- Matt Allan – RHP
- Luis Rodriguez – LHP
- Javier Atencio – LHP
- Zach Greene – RHP
- William Lugo – INF

The Mets list gets started with two of the best catching prospects in baseball mixed in with four players that currently reside on the left side of the infield. The Mets have four shortstops in their top 18 and 13 of their 30 prospects are right-handed pitchers.
We are at No. 3 on our Top 30 list, we are in agreement with Pipeline that Kevin Parada ranks there following Brett Baty and before Alex Ramirez.
