Nolan McLean was rated the top pitching prospect in baseball, leading eight Mets who cracked the Top 100 list released Thursday by Just Baseball, a site that bases its rankings on live looks, video, minor league stats and talks with scouts, team officials and other baseball industry sources. McLean, who went 5-1 with a 2.06 ERA and struck out 57 in 48 innings pitched with the Mets, came in as...

The 2025 Syracuse Mets finished the season with a 77-73 record, placing them in the middle of the International League East standings. The first half was rough. Syracuse stumbled to a 31-44 start, but things flipped after the break, as the team rallied for a 46-29 second half. The biggest story of the summer was the late-season arrival of four top prospects: Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Carson...
Fangraphs’ end-of-season top-100 prospect list loved the Mets system. Six players from the Mets organization were featured on the updated list, headlined by rookie sensation Nolan McLean. The righty finished as high as 12th on the list, helped by his dominant eight starts last season, where he pitched to a 2.06 ERA. McLean was also the second-highest starting pitcher on the list, finishing...
That’s it. It’s over. The 2025 New York Mets are officially done for the year. Heading into Miami with their destiny in their own hands, the Mets fumbled the bag in the biggest way possible. They lost two out of three to the Marlins to miss out on the playoffs. While this team has been imploding for the last three-plus months, the way events unfolded this weekend will likely leave a...
The Mets will need help to make the playoffs. The Miami Marlins scored six runs in the fifth inning Friday, knocking out Brandon Sproat and teeing off on Gregory Soto, for a 6-2 win in the opener of a series that will decide if New York makes the postseason. Sproat was sharp through four innings, allowing no runs on one hit, but gave up a pair of singles and a Heriberto Hernández game-tying,...
Friday, September 26, 2025 • 7:10 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL RHP Brandon Sproat (0-1, 3.94) vs. RHP Sandy Alcantara (10-12, 5.48) WPIX The pressure was on the Mets Thursday night. They already knew before first pitch that the Reds had barely beaten the Pirates 2-1. The Mets would need to win Thursday in order to keep control of their destiny. And win they did! The Mets would eventually get a...
If the Mets are going to make the playoffs, they will likely need to fix the things that went wrong in the two losses over the weekend to Washington. (They will also, of course, need the Reds to lose at least once.) New York committed four errors in the defeats, went 4-for-21 with runners in scoring position and manager Carlos Mendoza didn’t show the urgency you’d expect in a tight...
Friday, September 19, 2025 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Andrew Alvarez (1-0, 1.15) vs. RHP Brandon Sproat (0-1, 2.25) SNY The Mets still control their own destiny! The Mets’ bats are slugging the ball again as they come off a series win against the San Diego Padres thanks to a home run barrage. At the start of 2025, the Mets feasted on poorly-performing teams, and we are going...
It isn’t how you start, it is how you finish. Just ask the New York Mets after this weekend. All in all, it was another tough weekend for the Mets as the losing streak stretched to eight consecutive games. They also dropped their sixth straight series after losing the first two games to the Rangers. Things looked pretty bleak. However, some extra-inning heroics in the series finale on...
Silver linings are all the New York Mets have had for eight consecutive games and on Saturday it was Brandon Sproat who fired six scoreless innings against the Texas Rangers in his first career start at Citi Field. He was at 70 pitches (53 thrown for strikes) through six, but manager Carlos Mendoza went to the bullpen with the Mets leading 1-0. “Even though there was only 70 pitches, when...
The New York Mets continue to spiral out of the playoffs on Saturday as they beat themselves in their 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. Despite a strong outing from Brandon Sproat, the Mets lost because the offense couldn’t score with runners in scoring position. As well as small mistakes around the field. The Mets have lost eight consecutive games and are now 31-49 since June 13th and are in...
