The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets’ two worst minor league affiliates so far this season, experienced massive success this past week with two huge series wins. Both teams received standout performances from both pitchers and position players. Continue reading for the latest stats and updates across the Mets’ minor leagues.

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,...
Things are starting to look up for the Mets’ minor league affiliates, even if only slightly. Fantastic individual performances are starting to translate into team success, and the four affiliates combined to lose no series over the previous week. The FCL Mets also had their best week yet. Continue reading below for the latest updates and stats in this week’s Minors Weekly Report....
It’s been a disastrous season not just for the Mets’ major league squad, but their minor league affiliates as well. Three of the four full-season affiliates have losing records, and each team is coming off a series loss. While things are bleak collectively, there are several players who have shined individually. Among those are Ryan Clifford and Jack Wenninger for Triple-A Syracuse....
The Binghamton Rumble Ponies won their division series matchup against the Somerset Patriots, sweeping in two games to advance to the championship series against the Erie SeaWolves. Binghamton played the first game of the series on Monday and suffered a lopsided loss, so they need to win each of the next two games to claim the championship. One more loss will eliminate them. Triple-A The...
The Brooklyn Cyclones began their postseason by sweeping the Division Series in two games, defeating the Greensboro Grasshoppers 4-3 and 4-1. They began their championship series on Sunday against the Hub City Spartanburgers which resulted in a resounding 13-1 victory. They need just one more victory out of a possible two more games to capture the South Atlantic League championship. Their next...
The Mets’ first-round pick from this summer’s draft, Mitch Voit, had a pretty slow start to his professional career. He officially broke out in the St. Lucie Mets’ latest series. Voit went 7-for-15 with his first professional home run. He also walked four times, stole a ridiculous nine bases, and scored seven runs while also driving in four runs. Voit recorded a 1.246 OPS over...
Brandon Sproat twirled a gem in his lone start of the week for the Syracuse Mets, pitching seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. He allowed just three hits and two walks. It was arguably Sproat’s best start of the year, directly following one of his more disappointing starts of the year. Still in Triple-A with the Mets’ other top pitching prospects in the majors, Sproat now...
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...
Jonah Tong had a brilliant start in his Triple-A debut this past week. The 22-year-old pitcher tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, a typical outing for Tong who just cruises every time he’s on the mound. Between Binghamton and Syracuse, he now has a 1.50 ERA and 171 strikeouts in 21 starts and 107 2/3 innings. Tong’s performance was the highlight of a slew of...
Nolan McLean shone in two starts in Triple-A this week, combining for one run allowed in 9 2/3 innings with 14 strikeouts. He allowed just three hits but did walk six. McLean lowered his Triple-A ERA through 16 games (13 starts) to 2.78 as he continues to make a case for a call-up to the bigs. In other notable news, top prospects Jett Williams, Carson Benge, Jonah Tong, and Ryan Clifford were...
There’s no hotter hitter in the Mets’ system, and perhaps all of the minor leagues, than 2024 first-round pick and Binghamton Rumble Ponies outfielder Carson Benge. Benge has been everything the Mets could have hoped for and more in his development. In his latest week at the Double-A level, Benge went 9-for-20 with three home runs, a triple, and five RBIs while stealing a base and...
