Here’s the latest on some of the Mets‘ young talent down in the minor leagues…
Drew Gilbert hits first 2025 Syracuse homer
Gilbert is known for his power but hadn’t gone yard for the Syracuse Mets this season…until Saturday.
Going up against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Gilbert took Yerry De los Santos — the reliever who started the season with the Yankees — deep, launching an 85 mph changeup 369 feet. The outfielder went 1-for-2 but walked three times.
Gilbert had two home runs with Port St. Lucie this season before he returned to Syracuse in mid-April. In 13 games with the Triple-A affiliate, Gilbert is slashing .275/.426/.425 with an .851 OPS.
Former Mets outfielder Rafael Ortega had the big blast in Saturday’s 8-2 win, launching a three-run shot to put Syracuse up 5-0 in the first inning.

Nate Dohm dominates with St. Lucie
Dohm, the 22-year-old right-hander, dominated his latest start for the St. Lucie Mets on Saturday. Dohm pitched 5.1 innings while allowing one unearned run on four hits, two walks and striking out six batters. It’s the second consecutive start Dohm has not allowed an earned run.
Across six starts in Single-A, Dohm is 2-2 with a 2.22 ERA and has not allowed more than two earned runs in any start this year. In fact, since allowing four runs in his first two starts, Dohm has allowed just two earned runs across his last two. He’s also struck out 30 batters in 24.1 innings pitched.
