Future Mets Prospect - 2B Junior Tilien

 


Future Mets Prospect - 2B Junior Tillen

 




Junior Tilien is another of the talented middle infielders in the Mets chain. 

Tilien is 20 years old and can play short, third, and second. This year, he is repeating Lucy and playing mostly second, because he is blocked by D’Andre Smith, Cesar Berbesi, and Kevin Kendall as middle infielder in Brooklyn. Add it this the fact that Jett Williams and Kevin Villavicecio are playing short along side of him this season, and second base it is. 

Tilien was an International prospect signed out of the Dominican Republic during the 2019-2020 signing period.($185K bonus). He came stateside in 2021 for the FCL-Mets (103-AB, .165). 

2022 was his first season for St. Lucie (323-AB, 12-HR, 44-RBI, 81-K, .248). 

So far this season, through 14 games, his stat line is a solid .264/.355/.396. 

Tilien has excellent wrist strength  and hand to eye coordination. Tall and lanky like Ronny Mauricio, he is projected to build more power and could wind up in the outfield.

My guess is the players mentioned here that are currently playing in Brooklyn’s middle infield, will replace the duds in Binghamton. This will allow Tilien to finally be in a town that isn’t in Florida.

    I am a big Junior fan. Let’s see how he develops in 2023 and 2024. I expect good things.

    Excellent talent it seems but the way our 2 Cuse studs are performing how much longer till they get promoted because the dread of more Nido, Pham, EE and Canha (although there's at least some upside to him but only as a fourth outfielder) has to stop. How can we seemimgly forever have such a soft 7 8 9 lineup when we have the highest payroll in baseball history! Eppy this one's on you.

    Gary, Vientos is 19 for his last 40 with 7 walks in his last 12 games. Compare to Escobar. Or Pham.
