A CLOSING OBSERVATION ABOUT THE PROSPECT STARTERS: 

I have to say that, at this point into the 2023 seasons, I am quite disappointed with the progress and development of the Mets starters in the chain. 

A year ago, we projected that the top pitching prospect was Blade Tidwell, followed, in order by Dom Hamel, Mike Vasil, Calvin Zeigler, Jose Butto, Joel Diaz, and Javier Atencio. 

We never ranked Matt Allan because, frankly, I don’t think we will ever see him come back on an effective level.

 

So, where are we now?

 

In proper ranking…

 

1. Tyler Stuart - someone that just wasn’t on my, or, frankly, anyone else’s radar. It looks like the Mets have a live wire here. The dude is as tall as many college basketball centers and his K/BB ratio is something to be proud of. Leads all Mets starters at all levels in the majority of pitching categories. I expect him to finish this season at the AA level and will be ready to hit the bigs around mid-2024.

 

2. Christian Scott - another big surprise this year, though it wasn’t to me when they drafted this successful reliever out of the tough SEC school, the University of Florida (Florida 2021: 26-apps, 1-ST, 4-2, 3.00, 54-IP, 51-K). The Mets wasted no time turning him into a starter, where a clicked up heater is resulting in a much higher K/9 ratio (11.3%). Scott was promoted to Binghamton recently, where he debuted with a 1.50-ERA. I look for him to finish the season at this level, then open next season at Syracuse. Another probably mid 2024 Mets starter,

 

3. Mike Vasil - he had 10 starts at the AA level where he put up decent (not great) numbers. Promoted to AAA this week and his first outing Saturday was a clunker (3-IP, 6-ER, 18.00-ERA). Not the strikeout machine like other starters, but I still have him ranked above his buddy listed directly below here. Obviously, he needs time at this new level and I don’t expect him to be any help to the parent team this season.

 

4. Dom Hamel - So far, a very disappointing season by Hamel. 12 games, 11 starts, and a 5.62-ERA is not going to earn you a promotion to the next level. Love the 11.6 K/9 ratio, but that has always been there (still remember that 2021 FCL 21.0 K/9 that started his pro career). Could easily flip flop him with the next pitcher ranked. Both seem far off at this point (if ever).

 

5. Blade Tidwell - A dismal, wild start for this season, but the front side of this penny is a 1.32 ERA in June. Still, 35 walks in 45.2 innings is unacceptable. I still believe this guy was the top pitcher in his draft class before a stiff arm cost him most of his junior season, and he was a steal for the Mets in the 2^nd round. I expect the Mets to continue to slow develop him and there is a good chance he will finish this season at this High A level. No chance for 2024.

 

6. Javier Atencio - Only still mentioning him because he’s the only other warm body current pitching. 10.18-ERA at SLU. Dropped from prospect list.

 

7. Calvin Zeigler -expected a lot from Ziegler this year but bone spurs (or whatever) has prevented him from pitching this year. Currently off the prospect list.

 

8. Joel Diaz - went down during the off-season for TJS. Currently dropped off the prospect list.

 

That’s it folks. Two good ones, three major disappointments, and whatever. 

Sigh.
