New York Mets 2025 Season

At the Somerset Patriots vs Binghamton Rumble Ponies game tonight in NJ. It was Darryl Strawberry day. Jonah Tong pitched yesterday but hopefully they will hit better then the parent club.
 
Watching the kids rake in the minors makes we wish they would bench Alonso, Lindor, Nimmo and give Clifford, Williams and Benge a few games to send a message. They can’t do any worse.

They all played well yesterday. I saw Benge early in the season at Brooklyn. I really liked Clifford’s hitting approach not biased by the two home runs he hit.
 
Sproat pitching tonight. 0 runs in 4 innings so far. He's spotting the fastball really well and throws it hard, but there just isn't enough movement for him to have a high ceiling right now. He seems very poised and physically talented, so I like him long term. When he gets promoted, I think we are looking at him just pitching to soft contact.

McLean, by comparison, is more raw but just filthy. If he's limited to his best 2-3 pitches and 1-2 innings, he could really make an impact for the Mets this season.
 
I thought the kids were being held back because of controllable years, but I guess the Aug 15 deadline is because that is the cutoff for ROY status and if anyone wins ROY you get an extra draft pick.

I expect one or both will be up after next weekend.

I watched the first five innings too. His fastball did look straight, but fast (although losing some velocity in later innings). I remember a preseason write up by someone saying he may be better off as a high end reliever/closer than starter. After yesterday, that made a lot of sense to me.
