NEW YORK -- Speed has always been a part of A.J. Ewing’s prospect profile. On-base acumen, absolutely. Power? Not so much. Yet Ewing, who hit just three home runs last season in the Minors, needed only three games to launch his first as a big leaguer. The recent callup took

NEW YORK -- What stands out most on A.J. Ewing’s scouting report is the speed. MLB Pipeline, which rates Ewing as the No. 2 prospect in Flushing and No. 78 in baseball, gave his speed a 70 grade on the traditional 20-80 scouting scale. That translates to “plus-plus,” or some

It was a busy Tuesday evening for top five prospects within the Mets organization. On the same night A.J. Ewing (NYM No. 2/MLB No. 78) earned the call to The Show for his MLB debut, Jack Wenninger (NYM No. 5) turned in another impressive start for Triple-A Syracuse. The 6-foot-4

In trying times, a New York team once again turns to a Ewing to be the center of a potential turnaround. The Mets called up MLB's No. 78 overall prospect A.J. Ewing on Tuesday for his Major League debut, the team announced. The 21-year-old outfielder/second baseman has hit .339/.447/.514 with

Jonah Tong finds himself back in a position all too familiar to opposing batters. The Mets' No. 2 prospect racked up eight strikeouts to move back atop the MiLB leaderboard and yielded two runs -- one coming after he departed -- in five-plus frames for Triple-A Syracuse which lost to

Jack Wenninger doesn't light up the radar gun or deliver knee-buckling curveballs. He may not intimidate opposing batters. All the 24-year-old does is pitch ... and he does it very well. Wenninger's brilliant start to 2026 steamed onward with six scoreless innings for Triple-A Syracuse, which defeated visiting Rochester, 3-1,

DENVER -- As recently as two weeks ago, things were not going well for Carson Benge. On the morning of April 23, the rookie outfielder was batting .136 with a .416 OPS. While he was doing his share defensively, Benge looked like a player in need of additional seasoning at

Jonah Tong had it all working on Saturday.

• Get tickets to a Minor League game The Mets' No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and retired 16 straight batters at one point for Triple-A Syracuse in what was easily the righty's best outing

Coming into 2026, there was plenty of buzz surrounding Jack Wenninger. The Mets' No. 6 prospect has proven to be a workhorse for the organization. Since last year, Wenninger's 158 innings pitched and 31 starts both rank first in the system among qualified pitchers. Nothing's changed since his charge toward

As prospects make their way up the ladder in a crowded and talented system, it’s often said “you have to break the door down” in order to stand out. Well, A.J. Ewing appears to have taken that to heart. The Mets’ No. 3 prospect made his Triple-A Syracuse debut Tuesday

During A.J. Ewing’s breakout 2025 season, he climbed three levels from Single-A to Double-A and pushed his way onto the Top 100 Prospects list. With his latest move, he’s already joining his second level of 2026 with only The Show left to go. The Mets promoted Ewing -- the club’s

A.J. Ewing had done a little bit of everything through first two weeks of first season except for one thing. That is no longer the case. The Mets' No. 3 prospect clubbed his first long ball of the season as part of another multihit performance during Double-A Binghamton's 3-1 loss

Jonah Tong has shown flashes through the first three weeks, but he had yet to put together a dominant outing. That is no longer the case, and this time, he had some help. The Mets' No. 2 prospect took a one-hit shutout into the sixth inning and departed after striking

Ryan Clifford finally had enough, so he did something about it. And then he did it again. Homerless through the first three weeks of the season after going deep a career-high 29 times in 2025, the Mets' No. 4 prospect put together a breakout afternoon for Triple-A Syracuse, teeing off

At times, baseball can be nearly impossible to quantify. Just ask Jonah Tong. The Mets' No. 2 prospect struck out 10 for the first time this season, but a pair of homers and another inherited run scoring resulted to a rather unusual pitching line on Tuesday. Tong was charged with

Elian Peña was ranked the third-best international prospect in 2025. He's not doing too shabby domestically, either. The Mets' No. 8 prospect launched his first stateside homer and also doubled to continue a strong first week for Single-A St. Lucie, which fell, 9-2, to visiting Dunedin on Friday night at

With the Minor League season kicking off, here's where the Mets’ Top 30 Prospects are projected to start:

1. Carson Benge (MLB No. 14), OF -- New York (MLB)
2. Jonah Tong (MLB No. 46), RHP -- Syracuse (Triple-A)
3. A.J. Ewing (MLB No. 94), OF -- Binghamton (Double-A) 4.

Jonah Tong's season debut wasn't necessarily flashy. Then again, it didn't need to be ... not on a 42-degree March day. MLB's No. 48 prospect effectively mixed in his new cutter while displaying the hard-to-hit fastball he's become known for during a strong Opening Day performance for Triple-A Syracuse. Tong

NEW YORK -- Carson Benge’s Major League debut at Citi Field included the usual jitters, as well as a home run ball, a golden retriever and the support of nearly two dozen family members. Oh, and a dead bird. It was that kind of afternoon for Benge, who showcased many

The Mets traded Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers back in November and announced Juan Soto would be moving to left field at the start of Spring Training – two moves that created an opening in the other outfield corner. Speaking in February, Soto offered a preview of who could be

NEW YORK -- Following a spring in which he checked every box the team asked of him, starring in Grapefruit League play and benefitting from a teammate’s injury late in camp, Carson Benge has made the Mets’ Opening Day roster. The team made the announcement on Monday afternoon. Benge, the

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Three Grapefruit League games remain for the Mets, plus an intrasquad scrimmage on Monday. Before breaking camp, most regulars are scheduled to play in three of the four.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Over the offseason, when Mets prospects A.J. Ewing and Nick Morabito lived and worked out together in Tampa, Fla., the subject of their speed naturally became a topic of conversation. “He swore he was faster,” Ewing said with a smile. “I swore I was faster.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Nolan McLean started throwing more sinkers as a pro and developed into the top pitching prospect in baseball. Jonah Tong altered the Vulcan grip location of his changeup and won MiLB Pitching Prospect of the Year honors in 2025. Brandon Sproat leaned more on his
