There was a scary moment involving Mets prospect Jett Williams in Friday night’s game with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
In the first inning of the Binghamton-Somerset game, Patriots right-hander Carlos Lagrange threw a 1-2 fastball up and in to Williams. However, the pitch, which SNY prospects writer Joe DeMayo clocked at 98 mph, ran in and hit Williams near the ear flap of his batting helmet. Williams collapsed to the ground before he sat up as the trainer checked him out. After a minute or two, Williams got back up and walked off under his own power and was taken out of the game.
There was no immediate update on Williams’ condition and his status moving forward is undetermined.
Williams, DeMayo’s No. 2 Mets prospect, was having a solid first full season in Double-A. In 47 games, Williams is slashing .277/.381/.446 with four home runs, 12 doubles, 17 stolen bases and an OPS of .827.
Entering Friday’s game, Williams had a two-game hitting streak going and reached base at least once in the last 10 games.
