Jonathan Santucci set a career-high in strikeouts, punching out 13 of the 17 batters he retired in Double-A Binghamton’s 7-3 loss Sunday to Akron. But he also gave up five runs (four earned) on six hits, walked two, threw a wild pitch and took the loss. The lefty has fanned 31 and walked seven in his last three starts. The Mets selected him in the second round of the 2024 Draft out of...
Yohairo Cuevas hit 13 homers in his first 398 minor-league games. He has hit five in his last five. The 22-year-old Bronx native hit a three-run shot Friday in High-A Brooklyn’s 8-7 loss to Frederick. The homer (see it here) was his seventh of the season, setting a new career mark. The outfielder hit two for St. Lucie before he was promoted to Brooklyn. MJ Melendez also homered again for...
Jonah Tong struggled in three starts after returning to Triple-A Syracuse earlier this month after a stint with the big-league club. He allowed 11 earned runs over 12 innings, spiking his Triple-A ERA to 6.30. On Friday, the 23-year-old gave up two runs on four hits over six innings in a 4-3 victory over Lehigh Valley. He struck out three, walked two, and threw 69 of 98 pitches for strikes....
After a breakout 2025, Jonah Tong has not looked like the team’s top pitching prospect this season. He entered Saturday with a 1-5 record in 11 starts, lugging a 6.13 ERA and 1.49 WHIP into his start against Norfolk. He was roughed up again, allowing seven runs (three earned) on eight hits over three innings. Syracuse battled back from 7-2 and 10-5 deficits and scored twice in the ninth,...
A couple of Mets pitching prospects had great weeks. Jonathan Santucci, one of the organization’s top arms, allowed just two runs in 9 2/3 innings across two starts. Jose Chirinos, not as highly touted as other pitchers in the Mets organization like Jack Wenninger and Santucci, also pitched well. His latest dominant outing for the St. Lucie Mets not only helped St. Lucie earn a series win,...
Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer and walked twice in Double-A Binghamton’s 5-4 victory Friday over Portland. The 32-year-old was making his second rehab start since going on the injured list in April with Achilles bursitis and a wrist issue. David Stearns said he will play again on Saturday and get Sunday off. He could return to the Mets during their next road trip, which starts Monday...
The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (Double-A) were rained out on Sunday afternoon, but the remaining games on the slate took place across the New York Mets’ organizational farm system. Top-30 prospect Zach Thornton made his Triple-A debut with the Syracuse Mets, providing a solid six innings of work. Starting pitching was solid up and down the system on Sunday, with Jose Chirinos turning in an...

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...
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...
It’s time for 2025’s final installment of the Mets’ minor league players of the month. Both the Florida Complex League Mets and Dominican Summer League Mets only played a handful of games in August, so there’s not enough of a sample size to really name players of the month. However, the end-of-the-season top international free agent signee Elian Peña had needs to be...
With the Dominican Summer League coming to an end this past week, top international prospect Elian Peña is officially done with his first professional season. His season started in the worst way imaginable, going 0-for-26, but he rebounded in a huge way. His final numbers were outstanding, as he finished with a slash of .292/.421/.528/.949 with nine home runs, 33 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases. The...
