The Syracuse Mets lost their season opener to the Worcester Red Sox by the score of 11-2 on Friday. As the score would indicate, things did not go Syracuse’s way. The game did not start off that poorly. In fact, there was cause for excitement when Brett Baty, the second batter of the game, picked up from his hot spring by hitting an opposite field double. No. 2 @Mets prospect Brett Baty is back...
It’s been a rough year to be a Mets prospect with the likes of Jarred Kelenic, Anthony Kay, Simeon Woods Richardson, and Justin Dunn all being traded. All four guys would be in the Mets top 10 prospects and three of them have been in Top 100 lists for all of baseball. The trading of prospects goes beyond that group as well. Bobby Wahl, Luis Santana, Scott Manea, Ross Adolph, Felix Valerio,...
The Mets took a risk in the 2019 draft when they selected right-hander Matthew Allan in the third round of the draft. He was considered a first round talent that dropped because of signability concerns. Allan signed with the Mets to go along with first rounder Brett Baty and second rounder Josh Wolf, a nice trio to add to the Mets minor leagues. Brodie Van Wagenen and the Mets front office...

On Monday we wrapped up our countdown of the Mets Top 25 prospects with shortstop Andres Gimenez finishing it off at No. 1. Gimenez was not a clear cut top prospect with many of our writers torn between him and the powerful Pete Alonso, our No. 2 prospect ultimately. Here’s our Top 25 with links to the write ups: Andres Gimenez, SS – Report Pete Alonso, 1B – Report Ronny...
Columbia right-handed pitcher Tony Dibrell is so tantalizing with his high strikeout numbers. Unfortunately, Dibrell has also frustrated with a high walk rate. That is until recently. In seven of Dibrell’s last eight starts, he had issued two or fewer walks. With him cutting down on his walks, Dibrell has become more dominant. That includes his six-inning effort tonight against the Pirates...

With their fourth-round pick in the 2017 MLB First-Year Player Draft, the New York Mets selected Kennesaw State right-hander Tony Dibrell. Dibrell, 21, has a solid build and frame, standing six-foot-three, and 190 pounds. He features a four-pitch arsenal: fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. His fastball touches 96, but primarily the right-hander sits in the 92-94 m.p.h. range. The young...
