Tom Brennan: Top 30 Mets Prospects - #’s 11 Thru #15

So, here are the top 11-15 of my post-season minors top 30… 

Fifteen down, fifteen to go. Five of those remaining 15 are right here, this very day, today, for your reading consumption.

My general philosophy is to weight players who have played a sizable amount of time as a pro higher in rank than ones who have barely played in the minors, or not at all. 

So, a Nick Morabito? I will rank (at least for now) him higher than a Mitch Voit because Voit has played so little so far.  

I remember ranking Kevin Parada very high, before he played a lot and when he did, many were mostly disappointed.  With me, I more and more like to see my prospects EARN their spots.

And, some drafted pitchers haven’t even pitched yet. Sometimes, like a Dylan Ross or a Matt Allan, they don’t initially end up pitching much at all as a pro for a very long time.  

Sometimes, pro experience is better than no experience.

That being said, here goes my #11 thru #15:

11. RHP Jack Wenninger

Wenninger has been terrific. Deservedly deserves # 11.

The 6’4” righty, drafted in the 6th round in 2023, went 12-6, in AA Binghamton, with a  2.92 ERA and 147 Ks in 136 innings, and a 1.15 WHIP.  

And Jack was a post-season KILLER, going 2-0, 1.64 ERA in 11 innings, allowing just 4 hits and punching out TWENTY. 

He has a terrific 311 pro Ks in 264 innings in 2024 and 2025. 

He sometimes hits 96, but is not a flame thrower. However, he has an awesome change up and good slider.  

AAA awaits, and my wish? May he crush it in 2026. 

Jack could make his Mets debut some time during 2026.

12. OF Nick Morabito

Morabito started 2025 frigidly in 2025 in the Frigidaire known as Binghamton in spring time, but then scorched for a few months, before heating back up.  He has not hit many HRs, but surely knows that is a competitive negative and WILL add power, as he has the strength to do so. Steals bushels-full of bases.

In the Arizona Fall league, through Thursday November 6, he was simply smoking at .377/.472/.492, with 15 runs in 15 games along with 14 thefts.  WOOSH!!

The righty hit .273 in AA, and hit just .239 in Bingo, while hitting .305 on the friendlier road. .291 career in 1,122 at bats for the 5’10” righty smacked, with a terrific 130 career steals. He hit just .136 in the post season.

He is my # 12, even though he got passed over for a promotion when Jett, Benge, Clifford, and Parada were jumped up to Syracuse. So, he stayed in Binghamton, where they won a championship instead. Future 4th outfielder for Mets, if not dealt away. If you want to take the 5th, Nick will raise his right hand.

ATHLETE!

13. RHP Will Watson

Very, very promising righty. I promise.

A 22 year old 6’1” righty, with a 60 rated FB, he threw 3 brief innings of toe-dipping in 2024, then went just 3-9 in 2025, but with a dazzling 2.60 ERA and 142 Ks in 121 IP.  W/L records in the minors don’t mean a lot, as starters often get pulled after 4 innings or in the 5th, denying them the chance to pick up a W.

In the second half of 2025, Watson had a 2.10 ERA. Pitching at 3 levels, 18 of his 2025 innings were in his 3rd destination in Binghamton.  Could very well be a 2027 Mets starter. A “Sherlock” for a rotation spot, some might say.

14. 2B Mitch Voit

Voit was the Mets first pick in the 2025 MLB Draft and I give deference to that in ranking him over Chris Suero, even with Voit’s early slow start in St. Lucie.  He started his pro career in St Lucie going just 13-70, but ignited in September in going 7 for 15 with 4 walks, to boost him to .235.

He incredibly stole 20 bases in 22 games, but had just 3 XBHs in his debut mini-season. He is rated 55 for hit, and 50 for power.  Listed as a 2B, but with the speed and arm to play anywhere.

Voit will play 2026 as a 21 year old, and is 60 rated for speed and arm.  The 6’0, 200 righty hitting speedster should be seeing a lot of time in Brooklyn next year.  

ATHLETE!

15. C/1B/OF Chris Suero

Bronx-born Suero has almost the whole package:

He has speed, power, clutch hitting, and versatility including catching, but capable in the outfield and first base, too.. Can he hit high caliber pitching? Probably eventually well enough.  

But his Ks are high, and lefties so far have mystified him.  In 2025, between High A and AA, he hit .233 with 16 HRs and 68 RBIs in 475 PAs AND stole 35 bases. But he fanned 139 times, and that has to come way down. Of course, he was just 21 this season, and clearly on the learning curve.  

He walked at a very high rate (70 times), giving him a .379 OBP, and I think that my prescription of greater aggression on strike one may lower the K rate somewhat, but will help drive down the Ks. Get those Ks down, and he is Top 5.

At 5’11, 205, he seems to be built much like a former Met: 

Yoenis Cespedes.  

SUERO. He has such a high ceiling, if those Ks can only COME DOWN.

ATHLETE!

In the Arizona Fall League, Suero, through Thursday November 6, was hitting a potent .286/.359/.571, and was 2nd in AFL HRs with 5 bombs in 14 games, with 14 RBIs and 7 for 7 in steals.  Dynamite!

That’s it for today, folks. My incontrovertible #6 thru # 10 in the next go-round.

AFL ALL STAR GAME TOMORROW

Nick Morabito and Chris Suero are representing the Mets. Well-deserved.
