4/28/25 | Mets prospect throws fastest pitch in Baseball so far this season. The New York Mets have a lot of intriguing pitchers in their farm system that could be making their big league debuts in the coming years. While most fans have paid attention to the likes of Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean, the Mets have another exciting arm pitching for Low-A St. Lucie that most fans haven't heard of.

4/23/25 | Reese Kaplan -- Older Prospects Can Become Add-On Trade Chips. It's interesting to read the in-house and outside narratives about what's going right in the minors for the Mets. Obviously productivity at any level is most welcome but where it becomes most interesting is who is trying to figure out who is playing himself into the Mets major league plans and who is making himself into a valuable trade chip? Obviously the inherent worth of a player like Brandon Sproat or Blade Tidwell exceeds that of Dom Hamel based primarily on projected major league competence and minor league pedigree. With Hamel hitting 26 he's at the limit of his prospect status for the club and although his results would suggest he is certainly now a formidable opponent on the mound, I think David Stearns will find that his desirability by other clubs will not approach that of the younger starting pitchers.

4/19/25 | Reese Kaplan -- Prospects Can Hit Bottom Before Climbing Again. As the Mets have their most prominent prospects work towards eventually helping the big club in Queens, most folks focus on the biggest names with the highest rankings on the various lists compiled by Mets media. On the pitching side, it's last year's superstar Brandon Sproat who gets the scouts salivating over his ability. Well, let's see...he made 27 starts, went 5-9 with a 6.86 ERA, a WHIP of 1.749, and although he fanned one per inning he was walking nearly 6 per nine innings pitched. Yup, it was pretty awful for one Dominic Hamel, alright. Source: http://macksmets.blogspot.com/2025/04/reese-kaplan... |
