MJ Melendez homered twice in the first two innings to help lift Triple-A Syracuse to a 10-4 win over St. Paul Friday, pulling them within one and half games of a playoff spot with eight games left. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Rochester are tied for first, Indianapolis is one game back, and then Syracuse sits in fourth in the second-half standings. In the Triple-A playoffs, the winner of the first...
An eventful season for Émilien Pitre continued on Saturday night when he hit his first Triple-A homer in Syracuse’s 14-9 loss to Rochester. The infielder started the year at High-A Bowling Green (Tampa Bay). He was moved up to Double-A Montgomery after 51 games, traded to the Mets on August 2 along with pitcher Gary Gill Hill and outfielder Aidan Smith for Freddy Peralta. He then played 10...
Can you believe the baseball season is almost over? There’s only a month left in the MLB regular season, and the minor league seasons will be done before that. The rookie leagues are already done; High-A wraps up this week, Double-A next week and Triple-A the week after that. It was a big August for many Mets minor leaguers on both sides of the game. Let’s go through who was the best...
Jonah Tong threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out three in Triple-A Syracuse’s 3-0 victory Saturday over Worcester. This came one night after Jack Wenninger threw five no-hit innings. It’s been a rough year for the organization’s top pitching prospect. Tong has served up 22 home runs (second-most in Triple-A) a year after giving up just two in the minors. But he’s...
Clay Holmes’ next major league start may not be in a Mets uniform. But he suited up for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets on Thursday, his first game action since a come-backer broke his right fibula on May 15 against the Yankees. He allowed two runs on three hits over 2 1/3 innings and threw 28 of 51 pitches for strikes. He walked two and struck out two, including a strikeout of Spencer Jones,...
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. Senga pitched to a 6.18 ERA in six August starts and then accepted a demotion to Syracuse. Triple-A Worcester Red Sox...
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...
R.J. Gordon struck out eight in his debut in Binghamton’s victory, Brandon Sproat threw seven scoreless innings but the bullpen faltered in Syracuse’s 2-0 loss, Brooklyn came back for a 7-5 win in 10 innings, St. Lucie picked up a 5-3 win and Elian Peña went 1-for-3 with a stolen base on Thursday. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (42-48) 0, Lehigh Valley IronPigs (53-35) 2 BOX SCORE CF Drew...
It’s an exciting time down on the farm for the New York Mets. The organization is loaded with pitching talent on every single level of the minor leagues. From Nolan McLean at Triple-A to Jose Chirinos, who recently got promoted from the Florida Complex League, and every level in between, there is pitching talent with tantalizing potential throughout the organization. The Stable The...
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...
