Good morning, Mets fans! Lots of new Mets to meet. Rounds 5-20 of the MLB draft were held Sunday in Philadelphia and we were on it. Of the 16 Mets selections on Day 2 of the draft, 10 were college pitchers, led by RHP Luke McNeillie out of the University of Florida in Round 5. New York also grabbed two college outfielders, a shortstop and a catcher. From the high school ranks, the Mets selected...
Shortstop Antonio Jimenez went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base Wednesday in Low-A St. Lucie’s 5-4 loss to Jupiter. It was his third consecutive multi-hit game. He is an eye-popping 9-for-13 with two homers, three doubles and three stolen bases in the three games. Jimenez was a third-round pick last year out of the University of Central Florida and started his first full pro...
Mitch Voit was slashing .207/.288/.360 after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on May 14. The 2025 first-round pick out of the University of Michigan has found his stroke since. He homered Wednesday for the second straight game to raise his slash line to .249/.355/.425 in High-A Brooklyn’s 13-7 victory over Frederick. He is tied with John Bay for the team lead in homers and leads the...
Good morning, Mets fans! While the Mets have continued their rocky play at the major league level, let’s take a look at the minor league level for a bright spot. On Wednesday, the MLB announced the participants in this year’s Future Games during All-Star weekend in Philadelphia, including Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford. Despite an underwhelming slash line for the 22-year-old...
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. Triple-A Syracuse The Syracuse Mets...
Francisco Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Sunday in Triple-A Syracuse’s 4-3 victory over Scranton. He also picked off a runner at first and allowed a passed ball. Carlos Mendoza said he could return to the big-league team during the six-game homestand that starts Tuesday. Alvarez has gone 3-for-13 with a double, four strikeouts and one walk in four games at Syracuse. He...
It might seem like a hallucination at this point, but Justin Verlander was a New York Met for a brief moment in time. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer inked a two-year mega deal with the Mets ahead of the 2023 season, and while he pitched relatively well (3.15 ERA over 94 and 1/3 innings), the season went south for the Mets. At the trade deadline, the Mets sent Verlander back to Houston. In...
It was a tremendous day for the New York Mets’ farm system as each of the organization’s four top minor league teams were victorious thanks to strong pitching performances. Leading the way was Jonathan Santucci who had the longest, and arguably, the best outing of his season for Double-A Binghamton. Meanwhile, infielder Grae Kessinger reached base four times as his rehab continued...
Christian Arroyo hit his third home run in five games in a Syracuse walk-off win, Eli Serrano III went yard in an extra-inning win for Binghamton, Jamari Baylor homered in his first game for the Brooklyn Cyclones in their win and Elian Peña had a rare off-day, getting the golden sombrero with four strikeouts in a St. Lucie loss. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (31-29) 3, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders...
Somehow, the baseball season is already two months in. At this point, statistics are starting to stabilize, and we’re getting a sense of the caliber of season the players are in store for. May was an iffy month for Mets prospects, but at each level, there was at least one standout. TRIPLE-A: SYRACUSE METS HITTER OF THE MONTH: RYAN CLIFFORD Statistics: 27 G, .233/.308/.534/.842, 8 HR, 5 2B,...
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,...
On Saturday, Jorge Polanco continued his rehab start for Binghamton (Double-A), playing three innings in the field. Meanwhile, the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones had a very rare offensive outburst on Saturday en route to victory. Unfortunately, Jack Wenninger posted his second straight poor outing for Syracuse (Triple-A) in what has otherwise been a sensational season. Triple-A Rochester Red...
