Mets prospect Jett Williams continues to shine down in Double-A.
The youngster accounted for most of Binghamton’s offense as they fell to Altona on Saturday.
Williams was called out on strikes during his first at-bat but he was locked in from there, leading off the bottom of the third with a double to deep center.
Two innings later, he led off the fifth with a well struck single to right, and immediately worked his way into scoring position with his 26th stolen base of the season.
He lined another single right back up the middle with one out in the seventh, but then grounded into a force out in the bottom of the ninth to end the game.
Williams put together his second straight three-hit showing, finishing 3-for-5 with two singles and a double.
The speedy first-round pick is now hitting .289 with five triples, eight homers, 24 doubles, 31 RBI, 48 walks, and a .894 OPS on the season.
He also continues to showcase his strong versatility defensively — logging appearances at shortstop, center, and second thus far this month.
22-year-old outfielder Nick Morabito also stayed hot at the plate, extending his hitting streak to six games with a single in the third.
He also picked up his team-leading 33rd stolen base of the season.
