Top international prospect Elian Peña had a monster week at the plate for the Mets Orange squad in the Domincan Summer League. Peña went 5-for-11 in four games with three home runs, eight RBIs, five walks, and seven runs. All three of his home runs occurred in the same game. After a dreadful start to his pro career, the highly touted prospect now owns a .744 OPS. Across the rest of the farm,...
It was a fantastic day in the Mets minor leagues Sunday, as each of the team’s four affiliates won their games. Not only that, but the day saw impressive performances from players such as Brett Baty, Tylor Megill, and Ryan Clifford. The highlight of the day was 2024 fourth-round pick Eli Serrano III hitting the first pro home run of his career for the St. Lucie Mets. For the rest of...
After winning three in a row against the Diamondbacks, the Mets continued their homestand Friday night with the first game in a three-game series against the Reds. David Peterson got the start for New York, while flamethrower Hunter Greene was on the mound for Cincinnati. The Mets played behind for most of the game, briefly tying it on a clutch home run from Pete Alonso, but they immediately...
Pete Alonso has appeared to have shaken off the early season rust and is starting to settle into a groove for the New York Mets. It took a few games for both Alonso and the Mets offense as a whole to find their rhythm. The offense was shut down by the Milwaukee Brewers, while Alonso was hitting just .136 through the first six games of the 2023 season. He also had just one home run and two RBIs...
The New York Mets (5-5) traveled back to Sarasota, FL, to rematch the St. Louis Cardinals after dropping their first matchup to them, 12-7. New York, with Kodai Senga making his first start this spring training, tamed the Cardinals, 7-1. Both sides had their respective starters play for each of their first three at-bats for the most part. Players like Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Francisco...
The Mets looked to get back to their winning ways on Wednesday when they took on the Miami Marlins at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, Florida.

With all the trade rumors and free agent rumblings in baseball right now Mets fans are certainly focused on what the team will look like in 2023, but prospect Ronny Mauricio is hoping to force his way into those plans with a monster season in the Dominican Winter League. Mauricio, still just 21, went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk on Tuesday for the Tigres del Licey in their 5-3 loss...
Tuesday night was a special one for 20-year-old Francisco Álvarez. Just five days after being called up from Triple-A Syracuse, he made his Mets debut behind the plate, and even more special, Álvarez collected his first two big league hits, both extra-base hits. Álvarez put an exclamation point on his first hit of the night, launching a long home run to left-center field in the sixth inning....
Jeff McNeil hit a birthday bash for the second straight season on Friday. Last year, McNeil went deep on his 29th birthday. This year, McNeil replicated the feat on his 30th, tying the game at one apiece in the third inning. The Mets went on to beat the Nationals 7-3 to improve to 2-0 on the very young season. “I put a good swing on that one,” McNeil said. “Back-to-back years....
What in the world is all this fuss about curtain calls?? Like I said last night, who cares? As far as I’m concerned the only issue is that Carlos Delgado hit two homeruns and even won a Metsy for crying out loud…Do we have to make everything so negative all the time… even when we should be happy… why are some reporters always trying to rain on our parade?* * * * * * * * *...
