The midseason top 50 prospects list is out at Baseball Prospectus, and four Mets made the cut.
The names:
INF/OF Jett Williams: No. 17
RHP Jonah Tong: No. 29
OF Carson Benge: No. 32
RHP Nolan McLean: No. 34
Williams, 21, is having a terrific season for Double-A Binghamton, where he's slashing .288/.396/.495 with eight homers, 24 doubles, five triples, 26 stolen bases, 52 runs scored, and 31 RBI in 334 plate appearances over 78 games.
He will very likely get promoted to Triple-A Syracuse before the season is over.
Tong, 22, continues to lay waste to hitters in Double-A. He has a 1.83 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 125 strikeouts in 78.2 innings (14.3 K's per nine) over 15 starts.
It's fair to believe that Tong will be promoted to Syracuse relatively soon.
Benge, the Mets' first-round pick (19th overall) in the 2024 MLB Draft, is excelling for Binghamton after spending the first 60 games of the season with the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones.
Overall this season, the 22-year-old is slashing .302/.422/.485 with six homers, 21 doubles, five triples, 57 runs scored, 44 RBI, and 17 stolen bases.
McLean, who turns 24 on July 24, has been dominating for Syracuse and could be on the doorstep of his big league debut.
Overall this season, McLean has a 2.17 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 95 strikeouts in 87.0 innings for Binghamton and Syracuse.
