It was a rough night for the Mets’ affiliates pitching staffs, who combined to allow 25 runs in four games. In Syracuse, Luisangel Acuña and Brett Baty stroked extra-base hits, including Baty’s 15th Triple-A homer. Acuña has had a nice bounce-back month after laboring through July. Triple-A Rochester Red Wings (64-52) 9, Syracuse Mets (64-52) 2 BOX SCORE SS Luisangel Acuña: 2-for-4,...

Triple-A Syracuse Mets (45-26) 3, Rochester Red Wings (36-34) 1 BOX SCORE 3B Brett Baty: 1-for-3,...
Despite the poor weather up and down the East Coast, every Mets affiliate managed to get in a game on Friday. Brett Baty keeps crushing Triple-A pitching as Syracuse beat Lehigh Valley again.

TRIPLE-A Lehigh Valley...
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. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way. In fact, the team arguably experienced an even worse season in Dick Scott’s first year managing the club. Posting the second-worst record in the International League at 61-85, the...
The Phillies hosted the Mets for the second of a four-game series on Friday night. After taking an early 2-0 lead, the Mets allowed four consecutive runs and fell flat. However, the Mets closed a 4-2 deficit in the final innings, sending the game to extras, but it was the Phillies who came out on top 5-4 in 10 innings. The Mets got the scoring started early, putting a run up against former Met...
With the calendar flipping to September, the Mets began a three-game series with the Mariners on Friday night. The first game of the series marked the official beginning of the youth movement in Queens as Brett Baty was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse along with Ronny Mauricio, who made his big league debut batting ninth and playing second base. The Mets’ bats were quiet early but the team...
Coming off of a shocking and disappointing three-game sweep at the hands of the Tigers, the Mets took the field on Friday night looking to right the ship against the Rockies who entered the game on a four-game win streak.

In their first Friday home game of the year, the Mets (15-12) donned their black jerseys for the first time in 2023 as they began a four-game set with the Braves (18-9) on Friday night in the rain. David Peterson took the mound for New York looking to bounce back from two straight rough starts, while Max Fried, who came into the game having given up just one earned run in 15 innings, was on the...
The New York Mets have a prospect problem. And there is no denying it. There seems to be some flawed logic at play when it comes to how the Mets are handling their prospects. It is in stark contrast to the rest of MLB, and it contradicts the mission statement of the front office wanting to win right now. It seems that every single day highly-rated prospect Brett Baty goes off at the plate and...
The story of Friday night in the Mets farm system was an all too familiar one. Syracuse’s bats stayed hot as Brett Baty led the way again. He hit a grand slam and continued to show that he should be in the bigs on an everyday basis. Ronny Mauricio also continued to rake with another multi-hit day of his own, including three doubles and a late-game homer to stay ahead of Baty in the stat...
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...
