MACK - Friday Observation - Weekly Prospects Update

 

 

SP Jack Wenninger/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 7/16 – 17-G, 14-ST, 4-5, 3.50, 1.36, 79.2-IP. 77-K,

As of end 7/22 – 18-G, 15-ST, 4-6, .3.59, 1.39, 82.2-IP, 46-BB, 79-K

As of end 7/29 – same as end 7/22

Rainouts cost Wenninger his start this week.

 

SP Jonah Tong/AAA-Syracuse

As of end 7/16 – 15-ST, 1-5, 6.00, 1.52, 66-IP, 82-K, 39-BB

As of end 7/22 – 16-ST, 2-5, 5.83, 1.52, 71-IP, 42-BB, 84-K

7/24 – 4.2-IP, 4-H, 1-ER, 4-BB, 9-K

As of end 7/29 – 17-ST, 2-5, 5.59, 1.53, 75.2-IP, 46-BB, 93-K

The ERA is slowly going in the right direction… the K/9 is still very strong. My prediction is that Tong will return to HIS way of pitching for the remainder of this season and continue to improve his numbers.

 

SP Jonathan Santucci/AAA – Syracuse        

As of end 7/16 – AA - 17-ST, 2-6, 3.60, 1.25, 80-IP, 40-BB, 101-K

As of end 7/22 – AA - 18-ST, 2-7, 3.78, 1.26, 85.2-IP, 42-BB, 114-K

7/25 – 5-IP, 2-H, 0-R, 3-BB, 6-K

7/27 – end AA – 19-ST, 3-7, 3.57, 90.2-IP, 45-BB, 120-K

7/27 – overdue promotion to AAA-Syracuse

Santucci has no AAA starts yet, so there is no stat line either. This will change this upcoming week.

 

RP Jonathan Pintaro/AAA-Syracuse only -

As of end 7/22 – AAA - 22-APPS, 2-0, 4.21. 1.29, 36.1-IP, 18-BB, 41-K

7/25 – 1.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, K

As of end 7/29 – 23-APPS, 3-0, 4.03, 1.24, 38.0-IP, 18-BB, 42-K

Pintaro continues to shuttle back and forth with the parent club. I’m just reporting on his AAA work here.

 

RP Dan Hammer/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 7-16 – AAA: 17-APPS, 1-ST, 0-1, 1.77, 1.52, 20.1-IP, 17-BB, 21-K

As of end 7/22 – 19-APPS, 1-ST, 0-1, 1.59, 1.54, 22.2-IP, 19-BB, 26-K

7/24 – 1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 3-K         

7/28 - 1.0-IP, 2-H, R, 2-BB, K

As of end 7/29 – 21-APPS, 1-ST, 0-1, 1.82, 1.58, 24-2-IP, 21-BB, 30-K

Hammer needs to cut down his walks if he wants to be a major league pitcher someday.

 

SS Ronny Mauricio/AAA – Syracuse –

As of end 7/22 – 99-AB, 8-HR, 22-RBI, .293/.343/.506/.908

7/23 – 1-4

7/24 – 2-5, R, HR (9), 4-RBI

7/25 – 2-5, 2-R, 2-HR (11), 3-RBI

7/26 – 1-4

7/28 – 2-3, R, HR (12), 3-RBI

As of end 7/29 – 120-AB, 12-HR, 32-RBI, .308/.346/.633/.980

We’ve been waiting for Mauricio to get regular reps. Well, he is now. But it just isn’t at the major league level. However, these numbers just may be enough to get another team to inquire about his service in the next week.

 

3B/1B Christopher Morel/AAA-Syracuse

As of end 7/22 – AAA/SYR – 41-AB, 4-HR, 11-RBI, .341/.400/.732/1.132

7/23 – 1-4

7/24 – 1-3, R, BB

7/25 – 0-2, R, 2-BB

7/26 – 2-4, R, 2B (5), HR (5), 2-RBI

7/28 – 1-4, 2B (6)

As of end 7/29 – SYR – 58-AB, 5-HR, 13-RBI, .328/.400/.690/1.090

Morel is turning out to be a great pickup. Have no idea if he will stick around as a minor leaguer, but I sure wish he does.

 

OF Nick Morabito/AAA-Syracuse

As of end 7/16 – 294-AB, 9-HR, 33-RBI, .269/.370/.415/.785

As of end 7/22 – 310-AB, 9-HR, 36-RBI, 31-SB, .268/.375/.406/.782

7/23 – 0-3

7/24 – 0-1, 2-R, 2-BB

7/26 – 1-4, R

7/28 – 2-R, 3-R, HR (10), 2-RBI, BB

As of end 7/29 – 322-AB, 10-HR, 38-RBI, 33-SB, 49-BB, .270/.381/.413/.794

I wish Morabito’s BA was a little stronger, but his walks and steals’ numbers prove his value. He, at least, will someday be a utility Mets outfielder. For sure.

 

SP Channing Austin/AA - Binghamton –

 As of end 7-16 – AA – 3-ST, 0-1, 5.68, 1.74, 6.1-IP, 6-BB, 6-K

As of end 7/22 – AA – 4-ST, 0-1, 4.82, 1.33, 9.1-IP, 6-BB, 8-K

7/29 – 2.0-IP, 4-H, 2-R, BB, 2-K

As of end 7/29 – 5-ST, 0-1, 5.56, 1.50, 11.1-IP, 7-BB, 11-K

Austin isn’t having the kind of success he had at the A+ level (1.17-ERA). We write this off as level “adjusting”.

 

RP Saul Garcia/AA-Binghamton

As of end 7/16 – 31-APPS, 0-1, 3.41, 1.16, 34.1-IP, ONLY 11-BB, 51-K

As of end 7/22 – 33-apps, 0-1. 3.72, 1.24, 36.1-IP, 14-BB, 51-K

7/26 – 1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R

As of end 7/29 – 34-APPS, 0-1. 3.62, 1.23, 37.1-IP, 14-BB, 51-K

I continue to not understand why Garcia isn’t in Syracuse. SMH.

 

RP Carlos Guzman/AA-Binghamton

As of end 7/22 – 23-APPS, 2-1, 2.70, 1.13, 30-IP, 14-BB, 40-K

7/26 – 1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, K

As of end 7/29 – 24-APPS, 2-1, 2.61, 1.09, 31.0-IP, 14-BB, 41-K

Guzman has “been around” but he still is only 28. He needs to be in Syracuse for the remainder of this season.

 

RP Felipe De La Cruz/AA - Binghamton -

As of end 7/16 – AAA  - 3-APPS, 1-0, 3.38, 0.94, 5.1-IP, 0-BB, 6-K

As of end 7/22 – AA – 23-APPS, 1-2, 2.45, 1.26, 29.1-IP, 15-BB, 39-K

7/24 – 1.2-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 2-BB, 4-K

7/29 – 1.2-IP, 2-H, 2-R, 3-K

As of end 7/29 – 25-APPS, 1-2, 2.76, 1.29, 32.2-IP, 17-BB, 45-K

Here’s the bad news… De La Cruz is a free agent after this season and based on how the Mets have impeded his growth, he’s outta here.

 

SP Dakota Hawkins/AA - Binghamton

As of end 7/16 – 17-G, 7-ST, 3-0, 2.54, 0.97, 39-IP, 9-BB, 33-K

7/22 – promoted to AA-Binghamton

As of end 7/22 – A+ - same as 7/16

Only wish I have here is I wish he would boost his K/9%.

 

RP Danis Correa/AA-Binghamton –

As of end 7/16 – 8-APPS, 1-1, 1.50, 1.08, 12-IP, 4-BB, 19-K

As of end 7/22 – AA – 10-APPS, 2-ST, 1-2, 3.29, 1.31, 13-2-IP, 6-BB, 21-K

7/24 – 2-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 2-BB, 2-K

7/29 – 1.1-IP, 1-H, 0-R, K

As of end 7/29 – 12-APPS, 12-APPS, 3-ST, 1-2, 2.65, 1.29, 17.0-IP, 8-BB, 24-K

I wish the Mets would develop Correa as a starter…

 

RP Justin Armbruester/AA-Binghamton -

As of end 7/16 – 8-APPS, 1.13, 0.75, 8-IP, 1-BB, 11-K

As of end 7/22 – AA – 9-APPS, 0-0, 0.96, 0.75, 9.1-IP, 2-BB, 12-K

7/23 - 2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, K                                   

7/26 – 1.1-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 3-K

As of end 7/29 – 11-APPS, 1-0, 0.71, 0.55, 12.2-IP, 2-BB, 16-K

These are seriously good numbers. Another reliever that needs to finish the season at the AAA level so they can see if he is for real.

 

RP Garrett Stratton/AA-Binghamton

2026 – Brooklyn: 21-APPS, 4-1, 2.73, 29.2-IP, 44-K

             Binghamton:  9-APPS, 1-1, 1.38, 13-IP, 15-K

As of end 7/22 – 10-APPS, 1-2, 1.93, 0.57, 14-IP, 0-BB, 16-K

7/29 – 1.1-IP, 1-H, 2-R, 2-K

As of end 7/29 – 12-APPS, 1-3, 1.56, 0.52, 17.1-IP, 0-BB, 21-K

                                 Ernest Dove - @ernestdove

Believe it or not the cream of the crop so far from the New York Mets 2025 draft class is their 20th rd pick.  Updated stats this milb season for RP Garrett Stratton

High A : 21 app 2.73 ERA 29.2 inn 15 BB 44 K

Double A: 12 app 1.56 ERA 17.1 inn ZERO walks 21 K

Holy shite. No walks! And he’s only 22. Lock him up!

 

SS Mitch Voit/AA - Binghamton –

7/29 – Initial AA stat line: 5-AB, 0-HR, 0-RBI, .600/.667/1.400/2.067

Whatta you think of this stat line? It won’t hold but let’s stand behind this true prospect to keep his numbers in the RED zone.

 

SP Daviel Hurtado/A+ Brooklyn -

As of end 7/16 – 9-G, 8-ST, 4-1, 1.54, 0.66, 41-IP, 8-BB, 39-K

As of end 7/29 – 11-APPS, 10-ST, 4-2, 2.61, 0.93, 57.1-IP, 17-BB, 46-K

A really bad outing, but his overall numbers hold up, especially his WHIP.

 

SP RHSP Emilio Obispo/A+ Brooklyn –

As of end 7/16 – 13-G, 10-ST, 4-2, 1.82, 1.26, 49.1-IP, 12-BB, 51-K

7/26 – 1.2-IP, 2-H, 0-R, 2-BB, 3-K

As of end 7/29 – 31-APPS, 4-2, 2.09, 0.83, 38.2-IP, 15-BB, 43-K

Jenkins has become a real workhorse for the Cyclones.

 

RP Juan Arnaud/A+ Brooklyn –

As of end 7/16 – 29-APPS, 2-1, 2.93, 1.37, 30.2-IP, 17-BB, 46-K

7/25 – 1.2-IP, 5-H, 3-ER, BB, K

7/29 – 1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, BB, K

As of end 7/29 – 33-APPS, 2-2, 3.57, 1.53, 35.1-IP, 22-BB, 53-K

This could be the last entry for Arnaud in this report. He’s going in the wrong direction

 

RP Hunter Hodges/A+ Brooklyn -

As of end 7/16 – 28-APPS, 0-2, 3.03, 1.25, 32.2-IP, 17-BB, 48-K

As of end 7/29 – 31-APPS, 0-2, 3.72, 1.40, 36.1-IP, 23-BB, 55-K

Hodges isn’t quite there. He needs to work on his walks, thus his WHIP.

 

RP Ryan Dollar/A+ Brooklyn –

7/27 – PROMOTED to A+ Brooklyn. Final St. Lucie stats: 

                          208-AB, 12-HR, 41-RBI, .274/.377/.514/.891

7/28 – 1-4, 2-RBI, BB

As of end 7/29 – AA stat line: 8-AB, 0-HR, 3-RBI, .500/.600/.625/1.225

Like Voit, great start at a higher level. It will be interesting how this progresses.

7/25 – 1-6, R

7-26 – 0-2, R, 2-BB

7/27 – PROMOTED to A+ Brooklyn. Final St. Lucie stats:

7/28 – 2-5, 2B (1), 2-RBI

7/29 – 0-4

As of end 7/29 – first A+ stat line:  9-AB, 0-HR, 1-RBI, .222/.300/.333/.633

Not exactly a Guzman or Voit start. Still, my money is on this guy.

 

C - Yovanny Rodriguez/A – St. Lucie –

    FCL:  150-AB, 7-HR, 34-RBI, .280/.389/.460/.849

    7/28 – PROMOTED  to A-St. Lucie

7/28 – 1-4, 2-R, BB

As of end 7/29 – first A stat line: 8-AB, 1-HR, 3-RBI, .250/.400/.625/1.025

Boy, the Mets can sure get off to a quick start at a new level. I still stand by my prediction that Y-Rod will be the starting Mets catcher on opening day 2029.

 

SS Elian Pena/A-St. Lucie –

As of end 7/16 – 276-AB, 3-R, 28-RBI, 52-BB, .257/.386/.341/.726

7/29 – 2-4, 2-RBI

As of end 7/29 – 316-AB, 5-HR, 35-RBI, .260/.382/.361/.743

It’s going to be tough to get your BA above .275 when you already have over 300-AB.

 

2B Vladi Gomez/A-St. Lucie –

    Final FCL stats – 139-AB, 1-HR, 16-RBI, 32-SB, .328/.432/.440/.871

    7/28 – PROMOTED to A-St. Lucie

7/29 – 0-1

As of end 7/29 – A+ stat line:  19-AB, 0-HR, 2-RBI, .263/.375/.368/.743

I’ve been a big fan of this 20/year old and it’s good to see him back at this level.

 

OF Bohan Adderley/A-St. Lucie –

    Final FCL stats - 174-AB, 4-HR, 18-RBI, .270/.323/.391/.714

As of end 7/29 – first A-rookie stat line – 4-AB, 1-HR, 1-RBI, .500/.500/1.250/1.750

Another excellent debut. This time, a very talented 19/year old.

 

OF Aiden Robbins/A-St. Lucie –

7/28 – 2-6, 2-RBI

As of end 7/29 – first A-Rookie stat line – 6-AB, 0-HR, 2-RBI, .333/.333/.500/.833

I’m very high on this draft pick.

 

The FCL Mets season ended after their game on Thursday. They did not make the playoffs. Yes, all the recent draft picks and UDFAs were assigned to them, but none were ever activated. They just sat around Duffy’s and ate chili.

Here are the final stat lines for the “prospects” from that team:

 

SP Nathan Hall/FCL – 6-ST, 0-1, 1.17, 0.78, 7.2-IP, 1-BB, 6-K

Interesting DSL pitcher to keep an eye on… on Monday, Jose Vielma tossed 2.1 scoreless innings, while walking no one and striking out four. His seasonal stat line so far is 2-G, 0-0, 0-0-WHIP, 0-H, 0,R, 0-BB, 7-K. Love these ones that sneak up on ya during the season.
