The New York Mets have a few individuals who are thriving for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in Double-A. Tyler Stuart was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on Monday after his sensational performance against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Double-A affiliate for the Toronto Blue Jays) on Wednesday. The right-hander threw six scoreless innings with six strikeouts while only allowing two hitters to reach base.
Stuart is having a remarkable season, split between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. After posting a 4-0 record with a 1.55 ERA in 75 2/3 innings for Brooklyn, the 23-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA through seven starts in Binghamton. Stuart leads all qualified starting pitchers in MiLB with a 2.20 ERA this season.

He is not the only one who had an impressive week, as outfielder Agustin Ruiz was named the Eastern League Player of the Week. The 23-year-old had three home runs and 1.761 OPS to dramatically raise his individual numbers for the season. Ruiz has spent all of 2023 in Double-A, slashing .202/.301/.410 with 17 home runs and 55 runs batted in.
The Rumble Ponies, who have won seven of their last 10 games, sit second in the Eastern League Northeast at 61-57. Binghamton begins a three-game series with the Harrisburg Senators (Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals) on Tuesday night.
