0.62-WHIP, 3-IP, 5-K, 0-BB, 0-R, 0.00-ERA
Jhoangel Marquez (full name: Jhoangel
Gabriel Marquez) is a 19-year-old right-handed pitching prospect (born April
26, 2007, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela) in the New York Mets organization.
He signed with the Mets as
an international free agent in mid-January 2026 on a minor-league contract and
was assigned to the Dominican Summer League (DSL) Mets Blue on May 29, 2026. As
of now, he has no professional stats recorded
Height/Weight: 5'9",
175 lbs
B/T: Right/Right
He is a low-profile,
recently signed international arm.
Outlook
Marquez is in the very early
stages of his development. The DSL is a developmental league where young
signees focus on innings, pitch execution, and physical growth. If he shows
velocity, strike-throwing, and swing-and-miss stuff, he could climb quickly through
the lower minors (like many Mets international arms).Keep an eye on Mets
prospect lists or DSL recaps later in 2026 for early performance notes. He's a
name to monitor as a high-upside, low-floor international project rather than
an immediate impact guy.

Background and Career
PathCollege: Limited innings at Tennessee in 2023 (high strikeout rate in
relief), but stood out more in the Cape Cod League. The Mets were drawn to his
high-spin breaking ball.
Pro Debut (2023): Brief
appearances in the FCL and Single-A St. Lucie before Tommy John surgery ended
his season and wiped out most of 2024–early 2025.
Post-Surgery (2025–2026):
Rehab and limited innings in the FCL/St. Lucie in 2025. In 2026, he has pitched
in relief for High-A Brooklyn Cyclones (South Atlantic League), posting strong
results (e.g., low-1s ERA over ~19 IP with good strikeouts and low hits
allowed).
He is a relief pitcher
working to build innings and consistency after the injury.
Fastball(s): Pre-injury, he used a sinker and
four-seamer, both averaging ~92 mph. Post-surgery, velocity has ticked up
(topped out at 95.4 mph in 2025). He throws from a three-quarters slot with
repeatable mechanics.
Breaking Balls: Signature is
a high-spin slider (pre-injury up to ~3020 rpm, routinely 2900+; post-TJ around
2770 rpm in Fall League but used more frequently). He also throws another
distinct breaker (previously a curve/slider mix). Post-TJ work emphasizes
separating the two breakers by shape/speed to avoid blending.
Other: Earlier in his career
(JUCO/earlier college), he had a curveball and changeup, but he has mostly
focused on fastball + breakers in pro ball (especially in relief).
Overall Style: Compact,
athletic delivery with effort. Emphasis post-TJ on refining the new slider,
fastball life/command, and overall pitchability in relief outings. Control has
been a work in progress (higher walk rates at times), but he has shown the ability
to miss bats.
Jenkins is still developing after significant time lost to injury. His 2026 performance in High-A is a positive step, showing improved effectiveness with strike-throwing and swing-and-miss stuff. For the latest updates, check MiLB.com or MLB Pipeline prospect coverage.
Alvaro Carrillo is a young
right-handed pitching prospect in the New York Mets organization (born April 5,
2005, in Palo Negro, Venezuela; 6'4", 175 lbs, throws right). He signed as
an international free agent in July 2024 and has pitched primarily in the
Dominican Summer League (DSL Mets Orange).
Stats Overview 2024 (DSL): 7 G (0 GS), 1-0, 2.08 ERA,
8.2 IP, 8 K, 9 BB, 1.50 WHIP (limited relief work).
2025 (DSL): 14 G (4 GS),
3-1, 4.96 ERA, 32.2 IP, 33 K, 36 BB, 1.74 WHIP (mix of starts and relief).
Career Minors (through early
2026): 22 G (4 GS), 4-1, 4.25 ERA, 42.1 IP, 42 K, 1.68 WHIP.
He is a projectable, lanky
pitcher with some strikeout ability but control issues (high walk rate). As of
2026, he has seen very limited action (1 IP). He remains a low-level prospect
without widespread rankings or extensive scouting reports available publicly.
Alvaro is still early in his
development.
