AI GeneratedTyler Ward analyzes the New York Mets' farm system, emphasizing a strategic shift toward homegrown talent for the 2027 season. The discussion highlights the return of pitcher Jonah Taun to the majors and reviews a surge of breakout prospects across various minor league levels who showed significant growth in August, signaling long-term stability for the organization.
How we doing everybody?
It's Tyler Ward, aka Wardy here, co-host of the Straight Out Flushing podcast, breaking
down all things New York Mets here on the New York Post Sports YouTube channel.
And today we have quite the farm report to get into as not only are we going to deep
dive 10 Mets prospects who have absolutely broken out big time in the month of August
or have been steady throughout the course of the year, including a strong month of August
that we're going to get into, but we have to, of course, begin today's discussion regarding
the top prospect of all that's returning back to the major leagues next week to face
off against the Miami Marlins, that being in Jonah Taun.
We're going to break down Taun, why he's getting the call back to this Mets rotation, how we
feel about it as a fan base, along with all the key details regarding the other respective
prospects as to why you Mets fans should be locked in on them to wrap up the season.

And of course, for all things New York sports, make sure to hit those bonds here for the
New York Post Sports YouTube channel.
Let's get right into this and let's begin with the Jonah Taun discussion.
Our friend here at the post, that being Mike Puma, just discussed over the past day or
so reporting the following that yes, the Mets are leaning towards giving Jonah Taun the
call to return to this Mets rotation for next week against the Miami Marlins.
Now there was a lot of speculation including myself initially under the belief that Jonah
Taun would be getting the call as part of September call-ups as soon as this week.
Contrary to that belief, we saw Justin Hageman get the call for the New York Mets in which
he won three strong innings of work.
There we saw in the Mets 10 of four victory wrapping up their series dub in Tampa against
one of the best teams in baseball in those rays.
Hageman was solid, but not necessarily someone that's part of the Mets future plans for the
rotation in ways that Jonah Taun most certainly is.
So Jonah, who was initially slated to pitch this weekend for Syracuse, is instead going
to pitch early next week in Miami against those fish.
Which now begs the question, why are the Mets giving the 23-year-old right-hander a call
now?
And ultimately, is it deserving?
Well, let's start with the obvious as to is it deserving?
Absolutely.
Jonah Taun over his past four starts has a .84 ERA that included a no hitter into the
final inning that he pitched a couple days ago in Allentown against the Iron Pigs in
which he went seven innings of one hit, no earned run baseball, eight punches for the
young fiery right-hander who is absolutely putting everything together with his arsenal.
Jonah, for those that are unaware, not only had himself a strong outing where that was
a complete game shutout, but was a short and double header outing for him.
But over his past eight collective starts has just over a two ERA and all this percentiles
when looking at strikeout percentage as well as many others are in the 75th to north of
90th percentile minor league baseball throughout this eight game stretch, meaning he's been
one of the better pitchers in all the minor leagues.
And this is something that we saw plenty in 2025 for Taun, which led him to not only
leading all the minor leagues in baseball with his strikeouts, but also warranted the
call up to the bigs along with Owen McLean as the Mets were still pushing for postseason
play down the stretch.
And what was a failed 2025 season?
Fast forward a year later, it's a failed 2026 season for the New York Mets, but knowing
that they made their bed for a club that clearly is not making postseason play, it is now time
to give ample runway and opportunity to young players that they believe are going to have
a leash for this club in 2027, which is exactly why you're seeing guys like Nick Morabito
on the outfield get his own fair share of runway after Luis Robert was claimed by the
Baltimore Orioles.
Morabito, as we know, had a monster game for the Mets the past day, including a three run
double with two outs and an electrifying catch that we saw in left field, truly adding to
the psycho notion himself.
Carson mentioned A.J.
Ewing.
What do they have in common?
They're all high flying rookie outfielders for the Mets.
And when we look at this Mets rotation build of Noah McClain, Zach Thornton and Christian
Scott, they're one more piece away from truly having a four headed monster, if not a four
headed horseman here.
That'll be with Jonathan, because for the first time in about a decade, the Mets now
have ample opportunity to run with homegrown talent in which they will have their levels
of success.
Right.
We think of the Matt Harveys, the Noah Cinder guards, the Zach Wheelers, the Jacob Groms
and the Steven Mattsons of the world.
That was the last time the Mets truly had a homegrown developed rotation of prospects
that developed and the organization, regardless of Wheeler, of course, coming over in the
Carlos Beltran trade with the Giants as a prospect years ago, regardless of Noah Cinder
guard coming along with Travis Starnow and the R.A.
Dickey deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.
These guys developed here and we saw them blossom naturally at the major league level.
How fitting you fast forward essentially a counter literal decade later and the Mets
are positioning themselves for similar, if not hopefully greater success.
McLean is currently on pace to not only get rookie of the year finalists candidacy, but
he's also someone who very well is going to be in this conversation and for great reason.
When we look at Zach Thornton, he's quickly blossoming to becoming potentially the best
young Southpaw I've ever witnessed that the Mets have had as a homegrown talent, potentially
trumping the John Eases, the Steven Mattsons and the most recently David Petersons of the
world to Christian Scott, who still has all the makings of being a viable starter.
A top two to top three starter in this rotation as we head into 2027.
So with Jonathan, what has worked better?
What has worked different for him?
As we know, he's fluctuating.
He's been right around a four and a half north of a five-year rate this year.
It's because of a couple significant things.
One, the walk rate.
Jonathan has walked everyone and their mother and that is something that the Mets are still
trying to nip in the butt to great degree in the minor leagues.
Home run rate.
Another big bug move for Jonathan as he's utilized an arsenal that unlike last year
now has a cutter added to it that he's throwing heavily.
We've seen a heavy increase in home run per nine at roughly almost two home run per nine
for AAA Syracuse, Jonathan, as he has given up over 20 home runs in AAA this year.
For context, he only gave up two home runs with the Rumble Ponies all of last year and
double A before ultimately getting to the big league level, which he obviously got rocked
some outings.
I remember that outing against the Cincinnati Reds, especially where he gave up like three
of the four solo shots.
We saw him get rocked facing off against Jacob LeGrand last year, but can you fault the guy
facing off against one of the best pitchers we've ever seen in our lifetime?
It's not an easy thing, especially when you're rushed up as part of a playoff push for this
Mets team.
But nonetheless, between Tom utilizing his arsenal more properly, where you're seeing
that cutter slaughter usage and how it's actually becoming more deceptive to batters, he's having
a greater grip and understanding of it than he ever has now that we're seeing with his
arsenal.
Furthermore, we're seeing a difference in the release point.
You know how Jonah Todd looked very Tim Lincecum-esque, of course, the Giants legend for a number
of years helping them win their championships, but the over-the-head release point, well
that arm slot naturally changed to begin the year unintentionally for Jonah Todd, but the
Mets have nipped that in the butt and that arm slot is more as it was last year, leading
to more swing and miss and ultimately more success.
And yes, that breaking ball is a big thing for him with the curveball.
If Jonah has that right, that is an absolute weapon, as was the case last year.
But when you have a fiery fastball still sitting mid to high 90s and now inducing the swing
and miss and eliminating the walks a bit more over his past month and a half, all this is
cultivating as to why Jonah Todd is now getting the look back at the major league level.
So you may say to yourself, Wardy, why would the Mets go ahead and do this?
Because if Todd gets rocked, it's going to hurt his confidence.
It's going to hurt his development.
And the answer to that is, this is now more of a right time than ever before to give Jonah
Todd the call.
And the simple reason for that is there's a lack of pressure.
You got a month left on the regular season for the Mets, right?
We know they're not going anywhere.
They made their bed already.
They made that bed going all the way back to April when they thought Carlos Mendoza
being skipper beyond a couple of weeks was the right idea for the club, among many other
shortcomings and roster build, cough, cough, David Stearns.
But when we talk on the front of Jonah Todd, unlike last year, thrown into the fire right
away, as the Mets were still pushing for postseason play until the literal last day
of the season, this is the opposite.
We know who they are.
Now it's time to have a lack of pressure, but also just go out and play your game.
As Andy Green, Mets interim manager, stated regarding Nick Morabito over the past day,
we just want Nick to play his game.
We don't want the bright lights to get in the way or anything.
The same applies with Jonah Todd here.
And Jonah, who said in an interview, you know that this is going to make him a better pitcher
to come out of this with where he's fallen short in the minor leagues this year.
This is what the minor leagues is about when you're building an arsenal as a young right
hander.
Of course, especially if you're adding a new pitcher to, you're going to fluctuate in your
success.
But you rather that happen months on end in Syracuse than at the big league level costing
the Mets games.
So whether Tom comes up and he's dominant, whether he's mid or whether he's bad, either
way, this is going to further help its development and give the Mets a greater idea as to what
Jonah's time that Jonah Tom's value can be impacting this team, either as a starter and
or reliever heading into twenty twenty seven.
Because also have to bear in mind that should Jonah Todd, if I'm not mistaken, have at least
two outings for the New York Mets beginning with that outing in Miami, then his rookie
eligibility status changes and then the Mets are going to lose a year of club control in
the player.
Are the Mets willing to do that for someone like Todd?
I believe that they are barring changes, so we'll just have to wait and see all that transpires
here.
But Jonah Todd gave the call.
Some say it's long overdue.
Some say he isn't deserving of it.
But I believe that now is the ample time to give him this runway for the final couple
of weeks of the season.
See what he can bring for you and then give you a little bit more of a painted picture
as you head into twenty twenty seven, whatever that season is going to happen, barring that
impending lockout.
So now, guys, we talk about Jonah Todd.
Let's talk about all these other prospects, right, because several from time we got nine
other guys to get into that.
We're going to rapid fire that if you were not paying attention to you as a Mets fan
who does care about the farm, you better start paying attention now.
What do all the players that we're going to deep dive in a second have in common?
They all have had tremendous past month or so of baseball in the month of August.
Some of these guys that, you know, especially because we have talked about them endlessly
since the Mets have acquired them via trade, of course, going back to this year's trade
deadline coverage that we did in studio Manhattan for the New York Post here on this YouTube
channel, as well as online at where the NYM that many of you guys saw.
Make sure to check it out in case you guys haven't already.
That was a lot of fun.
Live immediate reaction.
But you know, it's a rarity that you see trades come off win win.
The way that they most certainly have for what feels like the New York Mets and the
Chicago Cubs.
We think of the Klay Holmes trade where Clay, he's been dominant.
Tyron Taylor has been heading north to 400 for the Cubs.
They're the they're the Chicago.
They're the Chicago Mets as far as I'm concerned with Conforto there, PCA and everyone else
in company.
David Pearson's been doing much better as of late for them.
Let's not forget, Pearson was the first domino to fall in Mets trades really of significance
this year.
But nonetheless, the Mets got one player in return for that Klay Holmes and Tyron Taylor
trade.
That was a top 100 MLB pipeline prospect as currently the number one prospect, the Mets
organization, a young man by the name of Jefferson Rojas.
And Jefferson Rojas has been absolutely tremendous for the New York Mets and his past 11 or so
games.
He's had six home runs for context and throughout the month of August, Jefferson Rojas put up
a 255 average, a 308 on base, a 553 slug.
That's good for 861 OPS.
Now, let's also bear in mind his statistics solely and the Mets organization with the
So not only has Rojas been awesome, but he's gotten better since arriving in the Mets organization
specifically, which has been great to see.
That also included the month of August, a total of seven home runs.
So one of them was prior to being on the Mets, 25 RBIs that we saw throughout this stretch,
eight walks and a total of two stolen bases.
Very solid stuff there that we saw from Mr. Jefferson Rojas, who is looking like he will
impact the Mets as soon as next year, that we're going to see potentially at the hot
corner, depending on what the status will be of Juan Boba Sheck because Rojas, like
some other guys you'll see in today's discussion, our shortstop prospects, however, aren't necessarily
projected to thrive at shortstop, as will be the case with Rojas, who's probably a better
profile at the hot corner.
Now, staying on the topic of the realm of ponies, we have a lot more than just Jefferson
to get into here.
Not only has he impressed with his tremendous back-to-ball skills and all-around play, someone
who could impact the Mets as soon as the inception of 2027 season, whenever that'll be, whether
it's on time or late into the year, either way, Rojas is going to make an impact for
this club, as will be the case with Mitch Voigt.
As many of you guys know, Mitch Voigt was drafted a year ago by David Stearns, the first
draft pick by Stearns that year in 2025 in the second round coming out of Michigan, and
Mitch Voigt just can't stop hitting since moving up to the double-A realm of ponies.
In the month of August for Mitch Voigt, he quite literally batted, and I'm not even exaggerating
as I state this, everybody, in literally 19 games, a 400-value average, a .489 on base,
a .600 slug that's good for over 1,000 OPS.
Mitch Voigt, throughout this stretch, after the round, had himself two home runs, 15 RBIs
that we saw, a total of 10 walks, also had four stolen bases to just 16 strikeouts.
Again, the man has been a hits machine, Mitch Voigt, and another scenario where, again,
whether Mitch is playing shortstop or somewhere else along the infield, I believe Mitch Voigt's
future with the Mets will be at second base if it's not going to be short naturally because
of Lindor.
Unless Lindor falls off a cliff even worse than this year defensively, you're likely
going to have Lindor, unless he's somehow traded starting 2027 as your shortstop with
one of Mitch Voigt or someone else at second base because it sure as hell better not be
Marcus Simi, okay?
But Voigt has been unbelievably impressive.
We're waiting for the kid to stop hitting 400, but he can't stop hitting 400 since landing
with the Rumble Ponies.
It's honestly insane how good he's been.
And because of that, it's had a lot of Mets fans oohing and aahing and saying, oh my god,
can Mitch Voigt get called up to the bigs this year?
And the answer to that is probably not, but very exciting, very enticing for Mitch Voigt,
who, mind you, for context, in the month of June this year, batted .305 with a .902 OPS
for Hy-A Brooklyn.
In July, we saw him making that transition, right?
.247 average, .756 OPS.
Then here comes August, full stretch, only in AA, moving up, and he's playing his best
baseball of his professional career yet.
Not only has Voigt looked so good with the bat, but the defensive web gems have ringed
Suprema as well, as has been the case with Jefferson Rojas.
Both have made some very good plays in the infield that we've seen over the past couple
weeks for the Rumble Ponies.
But as we continue on that Rumble Pony discussion, we have to get into another guy who's really
been sticking out, and someone who not nearly enough Mets fans have been paying attention
to, myself included.
And that's why I want to give a massive shout out to a friend of the platform that we had
here not long ago, and Ernest Dove from the Dove Report Show.
As Ernest said, Garrett Stratton is my guy that we're going to see impacting the Mets
next season.
Guys, Garrett Stratton, he's a lot of fun.
So Garrett Stratton, guys, reliever option, closer option for the Rumble Ponies.
This guy just can't stop dominating.
The month of August, and 9.2 innings, mind you, as a reliever, as a save artist.
He's 5-for-5 in saves, so pulling a little Kodai Seng out here, if you know, you know.
He's allowed just four hits, no earned runs, everybody.
One walk, one single walk, and 15 strikeouts.
An opponent batting average of $1.29 and a .52 whip.
On the season for Garrett Stratton, across multiple levels, he has just over a two-year
rate, and 43 games, and roughly 60 innings.
This has 80 strikeouts, a one whip, and this was a Mets 20th round draft pick last year.
Out of nowhere!
So you know how every single year there's prospects that just kind of find themselves
coming through the woodwork that you didn't really know anything about?
Well, Garrett Stratton is that guy for me this year.
Garrett's killing it, and I'm excited to see Garrett as a potential reliever option
for the New York Mets as we get into 2027.
The kid cannot stop right now.
He has been a literal lightning rod, and has been such a certainty as your save artist
for the Realm of Ponies here over the past month plus.
And this comes after he looked very solid during his tenure with Hy-A Brooklyn this
season.
As we continue on from there, we got more guys from Double-A to talk about.
Another guy from Double-A that we got to talk about is going to be, yes, Corey Collins.
Now, Corey Collins, another individual that Ernest Dove helped put me more onto.
Collins has dealt with ailment in his early professional career, initially a six-round
pick by the Mets back in 2024.
He's finally putting it all together.
Collins has 16 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 843 OPS on the season, with the first base slash
outfield profile batting from the left side, who may very well be the Mets' future option
at first base, because Ryan Clifford is not looking like he's going to be that guy right
now.
It might be someone like Billy Amick, who we're going to talk about here shortly, too.
But in the month of August for the Realm of Ponies, Corey Collins batted .224, but .406
on base, .500 slugger for a .906 OPS.
The month prior in July, he batted .349 with a .945 OPS.
The month prior in high A, Brooklyn, he batted .264 with a .881 OPS.
Consistently, the power has been there for Corey, coming off of the best month of his
professional career with power, with six home runs and 26 games for the Realm of Ponies.
That includes a total of 16 RBIs.
We saw 22 walks to just 26 strikeouts for Corey.
So again, he's looking more Schwarber-esque out here.
A little low on the batting average, a little high on the slug and the OPS.
But this is a weapon, everybody, who, again, some scouts are bullish, has one of the best
eyes in all the Mets organization.
We'll see how much that holds true for Collins as he continues to develop.
But naturally, if you have not been paying at all any attention to Corey Collins, I implore
you all to do so now because he's someone, as we get into 2027, is going to be in that
mix as a potential future first base option for the New York Mets.
And listen, Ryan Clifford is a guy that we thought would be that guy for the Mets this
year at some point.
Sadly, he struck out a million more times than he has got in contact with baseball,
and that's why he's not even in Syracuse as the Mets have deferred him to essentially
their development area.
So he's not technically demoted, but he's not actively with the Syracuse Mets playing
in games either.
It's really just to kind of fine-tune his game and see if they can get him out of the
bad rut he's found himself in for the majority of the summer.
Corey Collins, a lot to like about him, as is the case with our next guy here.
We're going to another pitcher, an RJ Gordon, okay?
RJ Gordon broke out for the New York Mets last season that we saw in the Mets minor
leagues, and that's why he's in our discussion.
He's currently ranked as the Mets' 30th top prospect per MLB pipeline, something that
if you asked me a year ago, I wouldn't have agreed with.
Because last season, we saw RJ Gordon pitched to a 3.3-year rate and 128 innings across
two different levels.
This year, it's fluctuated, but he's getting more back in the groove.
RJ began the year with injury, unfortunately, and that threw Wrench into things, but now
he's back playing like the guy that we saw ooh and ah for Mets fans in the minor leagues
a year ago.
In the month of August, RJ Gordon, across five games, five starts, 29 innings, 21 hits
allowed, 10 runs, only seven of them earned, one home run allowed throughout the stretch
to just 10 walks, and a point band average below the Mendoza line, a whip just over one,
and a 2.17-year rate throughout that stretch.
For context, RJ has not looked nearly as good on the consistency front in previous
months this year.
This is far and away the best month that RJ has had yet in the farm, and that's massive
because again, when you think of the Jonathan Santucci's, the Jack Weniger's, the Jonah
Ton's, to the RJ Gordon's, to when he finally gets himself more right because he's been
up-down this year due to injury, the Will Watson's of the world, so on and so forth,
to the Hurtado's of the world who did not look as good as lately in a high-A Brooklyn
southpaw but has been dominant all season long, the Mets have a nice little laundry
list of exciting pitching talent, and RJ is in that conversation.
So, I would love to hear from you Mets fans watching this, your thoughts on RJ Gordon
because I think he's absolutely someone that, should he trend like this, will get to Syracuse
sooner than later, and then we'll be talking next season as to will he be deserving of
the call at some point.
Now, to go back from talking about RJ Gordon, now let's talk about more on the front of
And if it ain't going to be Corey Collins, let's talk Billy Amick, who Billy, in the
month of August, Billy Barrels, William Barrels, however you want to call him, just can't stop
hitting home runs.
Guys, Billy Amick, who was acquired in the trade along with Benny Agbayani's son, Embruan,
who was officially activated after being out with injury for most of the year, and the
trade for AJ Mentor, guys, Billy Barrels, 35 home runs, 104 RBIs this year across multiple
levels, a 226 average, but an 865 OPS.
Guys, we have a right-handed hitting Ryan Clifford right here that potentially has higher
upside, okay?
He strikes out a boatload just like Ryan Clifford, but when he's not striking out, he's tearing
the literal cover off of baseballs.
In the month of August, for Mr. Amick, across two different levels, in AA and AAA, 23 games,
we're looking at 11 home runs for Billy, 30 RBIs, 8 walks, 253 average, 330 on base,
655 slug, that's good for just under a 1,000 OPS, guys.
And to begin the month of September, he's batting 500 throughout his first couple of
games, including a home run, because of course you knew he was going to hit a home run.
Billy Amick has literally hit, if I'm not mistaken, 11 if not 12 home runs in Mets organization
since they acquired him literally a calendar month ago.
That's crazy.
So the home run power has been there, and it's led a lot of Mets fans to say, is Billy
Amick going to be our first base option next year?
My answer to that is, you got to get it at a strikeout rate below 30%, right?
That's what it comes down to.
The strikeouts will be the bugaboo, right?
Billy, for the home runs he's hit, he's struck out a lot too.
He's struck out 35 times.
35 times is just 8 walks for context in the month of August, okay?
It's feats for fam.
It's all or nothing with Billy Barrels here.
But nonetheless, awesome stuff.
I'm excited to see more of him.
He's been, I think he's looking like the hardest hitter in the Mets organization, not named
Ryan Clifford, which is good because Amick is putting up numbers eerily similar to a
prospect the Mets traded a year ago, who also has over 30 home runs this year, north of
100 RBIs.
And that's Jesus Baez, who's in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.
Jesus Baez, yes, the Mets traded in the Ryan Helsley deal.
It bothered me then as a fan.
It botherss me 10 times more now.
Again, you win some, you lose some.
At least the Mets are recouping some assets that they lost after trading away nine plus
prospects at what was a failed 2025 trade deadline.
As we continue on from Billy, let's get on to our next player in this discussion.
And our next player is also our second to last player.
And that is another player who's currently for the Syracuse Mets after being moved up
recently like Billy.
That's my favorite prospect on this entire list today.
And that's Emilian Petrie.
Emilian Petrie was literally just anointed to the all minor league baseball breakout
team for 2026 after what he was just able to do.
In case you guys don't know, Emilian Petrie is a hits machine.
And in the month of August for Petrie, who I firmly believe will be the Mets starting
second baseman next year.
I think he's going to crack this team out of camp.
And I think that will be the route for the Mets to go down.
He's such a hitting savant, such a perfect line drive hitter going gap to gap.
But Petrie, who the Mets acquired in the Freddie Peralta trade as he was the lowest ranked
prospect in that deal.
And now he's the highest ranked prospect since he's been acquired in the organization.
He's better than Gary Gilhill, better than Aidan Smith.
This kid looks like our future second baseman.
And Petrie in 20 games, we saw between AA and AAA, 351 average, 409 on base, 403 slug,
good for 812 OPS.
That included a total of no home runs, but we saw nine RBIs, seven walks to eight strikeouts.
Again, guys, the guy doesn't strike out at all.
Two stolen bags, but has a bunch of stolen bases on the season.
As we see our guy here and Mr. Emilian Petrie with five total home runs, 54 RBIs on the
year, 315 average, 867 OPS.
But as a whole though, again, Petrie knows how to run.
If we take a look at how many stolen bags he has this season alone, he has 34.
Just hasn't done a whole lot in the Mets organization yet, but the hit tools have most certainly
been there.
I love Emilian Petrie.
I think he's absolutely the future of the Mets at second base.
I think the Mets are going to give quite the leashed him when it is the right opportunity
to do so.
A former second round pick just a couple years ago from the raise that they gave up on way
too soon, and they did that because they messed with his hitting approach.
Last year, he ran 120 games.
Petrie struck out 100 times, and that really dropped his stock as a prospect.
This year, he's completely changed his script, and he's only struck out what?
How many times?
Oh, yeah, guys, a total of 48 in 107 games.
So why did he get that strikeout rate basically less than half or more than half?
It's because he went back to his initial hitting approach.
They tried to have Petrie hit for more power last year.
That's not his game, okay?
And while he did have nine home runs, it doesn't matter.
I'm taking a guy that's buying 315 with a consistent 800 to 900 OPS every day of the
week over a guy that's buying 270 with a 700 to 750 OPS because he's swinging and missing
more.
Petrie has all the profile to be an everyday player at the major league level.
I think if he was caught up by the Mets today, he would be a more viable option to Marcus
Simien, and I'll stand on that.
Every level he's been at, he's been a hitting savant.
We should expect little to no different at the major league level, barring changes.
I love a million Petrie, and if you guys haven't been paying attention to him, you better because
he's a stud.
Last but not least, let's go all the way to high a Brooklyn for Aiden Robbins.
Mets third round draft pick who was one of the best sluggers in all this year's draft.
Many people were deeming as one of the biggest steals the Mets acquired and Robbins all the
way in the third round.
Well, talk about making a solid impression for the major leagues and 17 games in the
month of August to begin his professional career after being drafted just a month or
so ago by the Mets.
We saw Robbins put up a 262 average at 822 OPS, including four home runs, 13 RBIs, and
10 walks to 18 strikeouts.
In the month of September, now at high a Brooklyn, just smacked himself a towering home run,
dead center that very few guys can do in high a Brooklyn at Cyclone Stadium.
The power is tremendous.
It is real, and Aiden Robbins, again, another kid coming from college.
I do not think it's going to take him long in the major leagues.
I think, as a matter of fact, Aiden is going to have the same exact direction and projection
as Carson Menge for two years from the time he was drafted.
He'll be at the major league level.
That's what I firmly believe will happen with Robbins as long as these hit tools continue
to trend the way that they are.
He looks awesome.
Again, a product from Yardley, PA, drafted in the third round by the Mets this year,
once a college in Texas, and he was just tearing the cover off the baseball when he was there.
Okay, so a really exciting prospect, a nice high upside at outfield prospect with a lot
of power banging from the right side at 21 years of age.
It is not easy to hit in Brooklyn for those Cyclones.
So when you have Robbins literally hitting dead center bombs, you know that's a good
sign.
So Mets fans, that is what I'm going to leave you with for our latest farm report and prospect
breakdown from Jonathan to everyone that is standing out right now that we are currently
seeing in the Mets farm over the past month of August.
