The Mets’ affiliates played just three games on Sunday, as Syracuse’s game was canceled due to rain. A day after each of the affiliates won, it was another successful day where two of the Mets’ three minor league teams won their games on Sunday. Only Binghamton couldn’t secure a win, losing by just one run. Two of the performances of note on Sunday were by two of the Mets’ top prospects in Ryan Clifford and Colin Houck. Between the two of them, they recorded five runs and six walks in their respective games. They haven’t had the kind of offensive start to the season that they would h ..read more

The #22 prospect on the MMO top 35 list, RHP Calvin Ziegler, suffered a torn UCL and will undergo Tommy John surgery. This will put him out for all of the 2024 season and probably half of the 2025 season. Ziegler was hoping to rebound from an almost entirely missed 2023 season that saw him throw one inning.

The second week of the season was a success for the likes of Syracuse and Brooklyn, who won their series, but not so much for Binghamton and St. Lucie, who lost their series. There were several offensive players, such as Rylan Bannon and Alex Ramírez, who shined for their respective teams, but it was another week dominated by the pitchers, as it was during the first week of the season. Blade Tidwell, Nolan McLean, and Jonah Tong are just a few of the plethora of pitchers who tossed scoreless outings for the Mets’ affiliates this week. Let’s take a look at these impressive p ..read more
