The New York Mets’ farm system had an incredibly wild day on Saturday, with a blown late lead, a one-hitter, a suspended game, and a bizarre one in St. Lucie. The performance of the day goes to Brooklyn Cyclones’ (High-A) starter Channing Austin, who went 5 2/3 scoreless with just one hit and seven strikeouts. The 24-year-old is putting his name on some radars early this season, and...
If you have not familiarized yourself with A.J. Ewing by now, it might be time to amend your ways. Ewing found a way to get on base all three times he got to the plate on Friday, raising his OPS in Syracuse to 1.534. So far in his four games in Triple-A: 8-for-13, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, and 3 SB. Down in Single-A, Randy Guzman crushed his sixth home run of the campaign so far, which places him in...
Heading into 2026, MMO named Nolan McLean, Carson Benge and Jonah Tong as the New York Mets’ top three prospects. Now a month into the season, McLean and Benge are big-leaguers, and Tong has faltered a bit. That arguably leaves A.J. Ewing as the Mets’ best prospect. In Double-A, he proved why. Ewing was nothing short of fantastic, and for the second year in a row, earned himself a promotion...
It was a productive day down on the farm for the New York Mets, as St. Lucie was the only one of their affiliates to lose while A.J. Ewing, Jack Wenninger and Elian Peña all remained hot.

Elian Peña went 3-for-7 with a double over two games as Low-A St. Lucie was swept in a doubleheader Wednesday. The 18-year-old is on a six-game hitting streak and has recorded a knock in 18 of 21 contests. (In two of the three games where he didn’t get a hit, he walked). His .346 batting average is second in the Florida State League, and his .941 OPS is tied for third. Triple-A...
It may have not been the start the New York Mets wanted, but there still has been some good elsewhere in the organization. Below are some of the organization’s prospects who have gotten off to a strong start in 2026. A.J. Ewing (Double-A) A.J. Ewing is out to a phenomenal start for Double-A Binghamton. Entering the season Ewing was Metsmerized’s No. 4 prospect, and he is showing...
A.J. Ewing homered for the second straight night Friday in Double-A Binghamton’s 10-2 victory over Erie. (Watch it here.) The 21-year-old has hit safely in 13 of 16 games and is slashing a team-leading .345/.466/.552. He is the Mets’ No. 3 prospect on MLB Pipeline. Elian Peña, the Mets’ No. 8 prospect, kept hitting as well. The shortstop smacked his sixth double (see it here)...
Ryan Clifford led the Double-A Eastern League in home runs last year with 24 and hit five more at Triple-A Syracuse. But the No. 4 Mets prospect on MLB Pipeline hadn’t gone deep in his first 17 games and 64 plate appearances with Triple-A Syracuse this season. That ended Saturday. He connected in both ends of a doubleheader sweep of Scranton. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders...
It has been a quiet start to the year for the majority of the New York Mets’ minor league system, aside from the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies who now sit at 5-2 on the young season. Every other team sits at .500 or worse through the first two weeks of the season, including a woeful start for the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones. The bats were quiet in a three-hit performance for the Triple-A...
Elian Peña started off 0-for-26 last season in the Dominican Summer League before finding his footing. This year, he is hot from the get-go. The 18-year-old homered, doubled, and made a nifty backhanded catch at shortstop Friday in Low-A St. Lucie’s 9-2 loss to Dunedin. Peña is 9-for-24 with a home run and three doubles in six games (1.069 OPS). He is also 3-for-3 stealing bases. Triple-A...
Sometimes you are the broom and sometimes you get the broom. Triple-A Syracuse was swept by Buffalo in a doubleheader. Double-A Binghamton beat Somerset twice, capping it off with a walk-off homer in the second game. High-A Brooklyn remains winless and Low-A St. Lucie (they were rained out) will have a chance to get out the brooms on Saturday. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (5-5) 0, Buffalo Bisons (4-6)...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...
