For the rest of Sunday’s action, check out the latest Mets Minors Recap below.

Triple-A

Syracuse Mets (65-53) 8, Rochester Red Wings (65-53) 4

BOX SCORE

• LF Eddie Rosario: 2-for-6, 2B (1), 3B (2), RBI (2), 2 K (.845 OPS)
• 2B Brett Baty: 3-for-5, 2B (9), HR (16), 2 R, 2 RBI (42), K (.884 OPS)
• 3B Pablo Reyes: 2-for-4, 2B (6), R, RBI (38), BB, SB (12) (.900 OPS)
• RF Jackie Bradley Jr.: 2-for-4, 2B (3), 2 R, 2 RBI (6), K, SB (3) (.744 OPS)

The Syracuse Mets defeated the Rochester Red Wings 8-4 behind a strong day from the offense. The Mets recorded 12 hits, including seven extra-base hits, and stole three bases. Syracuse scored in five of the nine innings, going up 4-1 early and scoring two runs in the ninth to extend their lead to 8-4.

• RHP Tylor Megill (W, 3-0): 7 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 11 K (3.57 ERA)
• RHP Tyler Zuber (H, 1): 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, K (2.70 ERA)
• RHP Grant Hartwig: 1 IP, 0 ER, H, 0 BB, 0 K (3.60 ERA)

Tylor Megill allowed all four runs in this outing, but he still impressed by going 7 2/3 innings and striking out 11 batters. The length of the outing and the number of strikeouts were season highs for Megill, who nevertheless saw his ERA rise to 3.57. Tyler Zuber and Grant Hartwig finished off the game by combining for four outs, allowing just one hit between the two relievers.

Double-A

Portland Sea Dogs (67-46) 3, Binghamton Rumble Ponies (57-54) 7

BOX SCORE

• SS Wyatt Young: 2-for-5, 2B (7), R, 2 RBI (29), K (.729 OPS)
• 1B Ryan Clifford: 3-for-3, HR (14), R, 2 RBI (43), BB (.807 OPS)
• DH Jeremiah Jackson: 1-for-3, 2B (16), R, RBI (51) (.620 OPS)
• CF Stanley Consuegra: 1-for-4, R, RBI (15) (.596 OPS)

The Binghamton Rumble Ponies defeated the Portland Sea Dogs 7-3, led by a big day at the plate from Ryan Clifford. The top prospect went 3-for-3 with a home run and recorded another RBI hit later in the game. The Rumble Ponies went up 5-0 in the third inning and held the lead the rest of the way despite the Sea Dogs making it tight in the middle innings.

• RHP Joander Suarez (W, 8-5): 5 IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 7 K (4.05 ERA)
• RHP Wilkin Ramos (H, 2): 2 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, BB, 3 K (1.16 ERA)
• RHP Carlos Guzman: 2 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K (4.40 ERA)

Joander Suarez got the start for Binghamton and pitched well, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts through five innings. Wilkin Ramos and Carlos Guzman were even more brilliant out of the bullpen, combining for four hitless innings with five strikeouts to ensure Binghamton held onto the lead and secured the win.

High-A

Brooklyn Cyclones (56-58) 2, Wilmington Blue Rocks (51-62) 1

BOX SCORE

• CF Nick Morabito: 1-for-3 (.705 OPS)
• DH D’Andre Smith: 2-for-3, 2B (3), RBI (5) (.615 OPS)
• LF Omar De Los Santos: 1-for-2, 2B (5), BB (.618 OPS)
• RF Jefrey De Los Santos: 0-for-3, RBI (33), K (.593 OPS)

The Brooklyn Cyclones defeated the Wilmington Blue Rocks 2-1 in six innings. The game was called after a rain delay, and Brooklyn won due to the fact it was an official game. It was a low-scoring affair, with Brooklyn receiving just one RBI hit. Wilmington went up 1-0 in the fourth before Brooklyn added a run in both the fifth and sixth innings, giving them enough for the win by the time the game was called.

• RHP Austin Troesser: 3 2/3 IP, ER, H, BB, 2 K (2.45 ERA)
• LHP Ryan Ammons: 1/3 IP, 0 ER, H, 0 BB, 0 K (1.38 ERA)
• RHP Jawilme Ramirez (W, 4-4): 2 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, BB, 3 K (3.55 ERA)

The Brooklyn pitching staff pitched well for six innings, with Austin Troesser allowing the only Wilmington run. Ryan Ammons and Jawilme Ramirez finished the game, with Ramirez receiving the bulk of the work. He pitched two scoreless innings and was awarded the win in the rain-shortened game.

Low-A

St. Lucie Mets (39-73) 7, Daytona Tortugas (55-56) 6

BOX SCORE

• SS Yonathan Henriquez: 1-for-5, R, RBI (6), 3 K (.489 OPS)
• 1B-C Ronald Hernandez: 1-for-4, 3 RBI (39) (.722 OPS)
• RF Eli Serrano III: 2-for-4, HR (1), R, 3 RBI (4), K (.688 OPS)
• 2B Nick Roselli: 1-for-3, 3B (1), 2 R, BB, K (.829 OPS)

The St. Lucie Mets defeated the Daytona Tortugas in comeback fashion, with the final result being a 7-6 win. Daytona scored three runs in the first and two in the second, immediately going up 5-0 before adding another run in the fifth. St. Lucie scored three runs in the sixth and four in the seventh to erase Daytona’s lead and go in front by one. They held on the rest of the way to secure the victory.

It was a great day for a pair of 2024 draft picks: Eli Serrano III, who hit his first pro homer and recorded another RBI hit, and Nick Roselli, who recorded his first triple of his career. Ronald Hernandez was also great, driving in three runs himself.

• RHP Wellington Aracena: 2 IP, 5 ER, 3 H, 6 BB, 3 K (17.47 ERA)
• RHP Layonel Ovalles: 2 IP, 0 ER, H, 3 BB, 4 K (6.82 ERA)
• RHP Anthony Nunez: 1 IP, ER, 0 H, BB, K (6.75 ERA)
• RHP Saul Garcia (W, 3-7): 3 IP, 0 ER, H, BB, 4 K (4.96 ERA)
• RHP Cristofer Gomez (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, BB, K (4.86 ERA)

It was a rough outing for starter Wellington Aracena, who walked six, allowed three hits, and saw five runs score in just two innings of work. His abbreviated outing meant four other pitchers had to combine for seven innings, and Saul Garcia (3 IP) and Layonel Ovalles (2 IP) did most of the work. Of the four relievers, just Anthony Nunez allowed an earned run, the only one through the final seven innings.

At long last, the 2022 Topps Pro Debut was released on September 30th. First released back in 2010, Topps Pro Debut is one of several products Topps releases that strictly feature minor league players. Over the years, Topps Pro Debut has found itself with a much earlier release date on the calendar, but its September release date represents the set’s latest release date. Like the flagship Topps release, Topps Pro Debut has always utilized the same design on the front and back of each card featuring player pictures of every player in a minor league uniform.

Although the first two Topps Pro Debut sets were filled with Mets farmhands that failed to make it to Queens, you can find future Mets such as Juan Lagares, Wilmer Flores, Jeurys Familia, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Matt den Dekker.

Starting in 2012, the Topps Pro Debut began featuring several future Mets stars such as Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Noah Syndergaard, Travis d’Arnaud, Michael Conforto, and Steven Matz, as well as current Mets Brandon Nimmo and Dominic Smith. More recent Topps Pro Debut releases have included Pete Alonso, David Peterson, Mark Vientos, Francisco Alvarez, and Brett Baty.

The 2022 Topps Pro Debut release features several of the Mets’ top prospects. The 200-card set includes the first card for some 2021 first-round picks and there are eight parallel sets serial numbered from 1 to 199.
