Hall is a promising
right-handed starting pitcher in the New York Mets' minor league system. At 24
years old (born March 30, 2001, in Charlotte, NC), he's 6'0" and 195 lbs,
known for his command, plus changeup, and potential as a mid-rotation arm.
He's
currently assigned to High-A Brooklyn Cyclones.
He’s shown
significant improvement in 2025 after battling injuries, positioning him as one
of the Mets' more intriguing pitching prospects.
Hall began
his college career at Appalachian State University, where he spent two seasons
(2019-2021) primarily as a reliever, posting a 4.15 ERA over 34.2 innings with
41 strikeouts. He transferred to the University of South Carolina for his
junior year in 2022, transitioning into a starting role in the competitive SEC.
That season,
he logged a 4.34 ERA in 76.2 innings across 16 starts, with 78 strikeouts and a
solid walk rate (31 BB), earning him a 20th-round draft pick (612th overall)
from the Milwaukee Brewers.
Hall returned
to South Carolina for his senior year in 2023 to improve his stock
In 2023, he
started hot, going 5-1 with a 3.29 ERA in seven starts (41 IP, 43 K, just 9
BB), earning SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week honors in February and Perfect Game
National Pitcher of the Week on February 28. Unfortunately, a back injury
sidelined him for the second half of the season. His performance and pedigree
as a two-year Gamecock starter caught the Mets' eye, leading to his selection
in the 7th round (216th overall) of the 2023 MLB Draft.
Hall signed
with the Mets for $176,250, slightly below slot value, and debuted in the
Florida Complex League (FCL) Mets in 2023. Limited by his injury, he made just
four starts, posting a 3.38 ERA in 13.1 innings with 13 strikeouts and
excellent control (2 BB).
In 2024, he
advanced to Low-A St. Lucie Mets, where he built on his command with a 3.45 ERA
over 15 starts (72.1 IP, 78 K, 22 BB), though he dealt with minor setbacks that
capped his innings.
Four-Seam
Fastball
Straight with
some ride; located up in the zone well.
92-95 mph
(touches 96)
50-55 grade
(primary pitch, ~50% usage)
Improved life
in pro ball; pairs well with changeup for swing-and-miss.
Changeup
His best
offering—tumble and arm-side fade; elite separation from fastball.
80-83 mph
60-70 grade
(above-average to plus; ~30% usage)
Devastating
vs. righties; generated whiffs in college and minors; Mets' development focus.
Slider
Shorter,
tighter break with high spin (2,600+ RPM); horizontal sweep.
84-87 mph
45-50 grade
(fringe-average; ~15-20% usage)
Shows promise
but underutilized; added depth in 2024-25; potential third pitch.
Hall's
strengths are his low walk rates (career ~2.5 BB/9 in college/pros) and ability
to induce weak contact, but he could benefit from a curveball or refined slider
for lefties.
His changeup
is the carrying tool, often graded as his 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale.
Overall,
Hall's trajectory is upward, and with the Mets' pitching lab, he could emerge
as a reliable starter. Keep an eye on his Cyclones starts—he's one injury-free
season from Mets contention chatter.

Hall – another 2022
pitching draft gem (we’ll try not to hold it against him that he was a
Gamecock). RHP. Pitched all of 2025 for A+ Brooklyn: 25-G, 21-ST, 5-7, 2.72,
1.26, 112.2-IP, 115-K, 63-BB. Needs to work on his control. There’s nothing
left for him to do at Coney, but the question is can he squeeze into an already
busy projected spring Rumble Ponies rotation.

I think # 14 is a bit high for Hall, given his non-promo from High A to AA. The slope of the treadmill is higher in AA. I had him in the late teens for that reason. Future Mets pen arm or trade bait.
