Looking to find the form that prompted Baseball America to label him the Met prospect with the “best control” in January, Irving Cota struck out six and walked one in two scoreless innings Friday in the Surprise Saguaros’ 10-4 loss to the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League. (Box score) Cota, 22, of Mexico had an excellent start to the season at High-A Brooklyn,...
The Arizona Fall League begins on Saturday October 3, and the New York Mets have a strong cohort of players attending. Teams will use the Arizona Fall League for a number of reasons. From getting players who spent most of the year on the injured list more work, to getting a look at potential 40-man adds, and even giving players more run to work through late season mechanical changes. Here are...
The Binghamton Runble Ponies were right back at it again, scoring 14 runs.

Incredibly, minor league teams from Single-A to Triple-A are already into the second halves of their seasons. Players at the higher levels already have a full three months of sample size under their belts, and a clear picture is emerging of the quality of seasons they’re going to have. As the weather heated up, so did the bats. Well, for the most part. Don’t look at Ryan...

Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball. They also got the basics right and handled their business on the way to clinching their first series sweep of the year. And, just like that, the Mets have won 10 of 13 and now have four consecutive series wins. New York will head to LA riding a...

The 2023 season was a tale of two halves for the Brooklyn Cyclones. They finished as the worst team in their division in the first half of the year before posting the joint best record in their division in the second half of the year.
