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.

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...
Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer and walked twice in Double-A Binghamton’s 5-4 victory Friday over Portland. The 32-year-old was making his second rehab start since going on the injured list in April with Achilles bursitis and a wrist issue. David Stearns said he will play again on Saturday and get Sunday off. He could return to the Mets during their next road trip, which starts Monday...
The Mets’ path to a playoff spot continues to get more difficult by the day. While they do not have a ton of clear pieces to sell, any moves could open up more playing time for young players. Injuries and prospects in the minors forcing the team’s hand can do that as well. We have already seen Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, Nick Morabito and Zach Thornton debut this season. Who else could...
Kodai Senga struggled in his rehab appearance in a Syracuse win, Chris Suero stole four bases in a Binghamton loss, Noah Hall struggled in a Brooklyn defeat and St. Lucie won as Jamari Baylor hit his third home run in his last four games. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (28-25) 8, Rochester Red Wings (32-21) 4 BOX SCORE CF Nick Morabito – 2-for-5, 1 K (.749 OPS 1B Ryan Clifford – 1-for-4, 2...
Things are starting to look up for the Mets’ minor league affiliates, even if only slightly. Fantastic individual performances are starting to translate into team success, and the four affiliates combined to lose no series over the previous week. The FCL Mets also had their best week yet.
