The 2025 season was a breakout for the entire Mets minor league system, seeing some of the best development of minor league players it has ever seen. To pick just five of the many breakouts throughout the system will inevitably leave out some deserving names, but we’ll give it our best shot. We’re talking about true breakouts, too. Carson Benge was great, but he was a first-round...
After securing the best record in the Eastern League in both halves, the Rumble Ponies dropped their first game of the Championship Series to the Erie SeaWolves. The bats were relatively quiet in the blowout win, and R.J. Gordon struggled facing an Erie lineup containing three top-100 prospects. Meanwhile, Jett Williams, Carson Benge, Ryan Clifford and Kevin Parada all hit home runs as Syracuse...
Kodai Senga threw six innings of one-run ball and struck out eight in Triple-A Syracuse’s 3-1 victory over Worcester on Friday. It was the 32-year-old right-hander’s first action since Aug. 31 when he gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins.

Jett Williams lost much of 2024 to injury but has been healthy and thriving for Binghamton this year. His third homer helped the Rumble Ponies win the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Brandon Sproat was hit hard at Triple-A Syracuse, while RHP R.J. Gordon of Single-A Brooklyn improved to 4-0 with six innings of one-run ball. Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs (29-12) 18, Syracuse Mets...
The 2024 MLB First-Year Player Draft is now in the books for the New York Mets. Day 3 (rounds 11-20) are where the area scouts can find those diamonds in the rough that end up being successful stories if those players make it to the big leagues.
