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 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.

Still in Triple-A with the Mets’ other top pitching prospects in the majors, Sproat now...

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.

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...
