Player Of The Day -
B-Mets RHSP Christian Scott seems to be making the transition from a backend rotation prospect to the mid-range.
Last night, he tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out six, and lowering his AA ERA to 1.37.
His combined A+/AA stats this year are now 10-ST, 4-1, 2.18, 0.77, 45.1-IP, 53-K.
I still project him as a mid-season 2024 addition to the Mets rotation.

NOTE 2 -
RHRP Mike Vasil has another dismal AAA outing last night: 3-IP, 4-ER, 6-H, 3-BB, ON 66 pitches, only 36 strikes. His AAA ERA is now 10.24.
The Mets should consider either letting him miss a turn so he can mentally reengage or letting the Docs check out that arm and shoulder.

11. Kevin Parada, C, New York Mets
Age: 21
Level (Team): High A (Brooklyn)
Season stats: 60 G, .267/.350/.444, 1-for-3 SB, 27 RBI, 14 2B, 3 3B, 7 HR, 23 BB, 65 K
Parada hasn’t shown the kind of power he did his final season at Georgia Tech, but he has put a charge into some balls this month as he has become more comfortable in the batters’ box. He has upped his season average thanks to a .308/.357/.526 line in June that includes four homers in 19 games. He entered Tuesday on a seven-game hit streak during which he has gone 12-for-28 with three home runs. Behind the plate, he has caught 19 would-be base-stealers but 97 runners have advanced on steals. Despite the running game chaos (which can also be attributed to his pitchers’ struggles holding runners), Parada is where the Mets should have expected him to be at this point in his career. He is still working on marrying his raw power to his average but that should come as he further establishes himself as a pro.
14. Jett Williams, SS, New York Mets
Age: 19
Level (Team): Low A (St. Lucie)
Season stats: 54 G, .233/.421/.355, 19-for-25 SB, 24 RBI, 6 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 47 BB, 50 K
Williams may not have much to show in his batting average but he is displaying a strong approach at the plate, where he’s walking at a 20 percent clip while striking out at a manageable 21.3 percent rate. What’s more, he’s showcasing some speed on the base paths, nabbing nearly 20 bases and proving that he can be a pest. June has proven to be a kinder month to Williams. He’s batting .286 with a double, two triples and two homers and 18 walks against 14 strikeouts this month.
This Day in Mets History (@NYMhistory)
6/28/2015 Steven Matz pitches 7 2/3 innings and records three hits in his major league debut. He becomes the first pitcher in MLB history and the first Met in franchise history to drive in four runs in his debut.

Hard to believe that Matz game was only 8 years ago.
Vasil's arm better be sound - we need SOMEBODY to be both good and healthy.
Impressed with Nick Meyer lately - has he passed Tomas Nido in the catcher rankings?
Vientos will hopefully be here to stay next month. Clear the deadwood and play him.
Orze has been excellent his last 3-4 relief outings. Maybe he is getting his act together in a way that will earn him a call up.
I like having Nido and Perez as catching insurance but if the team reboots they should let Meyer take over C1 in AAA
Frankly sick of relief pitchers trying to find themselves
Even the ones that kill it in AAA get killed in the MLB
You know me...
Sign 3 FA relievers a year with 2 or less years each
Mack, I still believe the loss of Edwin’s brilliance and fire has dimmed the entire Mets bulb. A lot.
Rubbing salt in a wound, Yanks throw ANOTHER perfect game.
Mack,
Is it too early to look at MLB free agent pitchers available in 2024?
Mac and Tom,
Pull up the video clip of Jesus Biaz's walk off hit last night in the FSL, St Lucie. That is the type of determination and desire we need every night at Citi.
Gee whiz,Nido,Perez, Meyer, You’re kidding!
Will do so after draft week
How about you Woody?
Want a shot here?
