1B/LF Anthony Delgado/DSL Orange -   .471/.609/.588/1.197

Anthony Delgado is a 19-year-old minor league outfielder (also listed at 1B) in the New York Mets organization, playing in the Dominican Summer League.

Born: January 27, 2007 (age 19) in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Height/Weight: 6'0" / 190 lbs.

Bats/Throws: L/R.

Signed: As an undrafted free agent (UDFA) by the Mets on January 15, 2024.

He is a low-profile international/development signing who began his pro career in the DSL.

2024 (DSL Mets Orange): 27 games, 67 AB  .194 AVG, 13 H (2 2B, 1 3B), 0 HR, 0 RBI (listed), 5 SB, 15 R. 

Strong walk rate → .386 OBP, .640 OPS.

Career Minor League (through available data): Limited to DSL so far, with a .188/.404/.275 line over ~80 AB, emphasizing on-base skills and speed over power.

Missed most/all of 2025 due to injury (placed on 60-day IL in May 2025, activated November 6, 2025).

He is a very early-stage prospect with limited exposure. His profile shows contact/patience tools and speed, but power is still developing (low extra-base output so far). No major prospect rankings or scouting reports appear prominently yet, which is common for DSL UDFAs at this stage.

 

Period 6/16-6/25

Bohan Adderley/FCL Mets      -      .571/.600/.786/1.386

Bohan Adderley is a 19-year-old (born November 10, 2006, in Nassau, Bahamas) outfielder/shortstop in the New York Mets minor league system. He stands 6'3" and weighs 180 lbs, bats and throws right-handed.

Adderley signed with the Mets as an international free agent in January 2024 (reportedly for around $350,000). He came from the International Elite (I-Elite) Sports Academy in the Bahamas and was one of the Mets' 2024 international signees. He initially had little interest in baseball as a child but returned to the sport around 2015, inspired by his older brother and friends. He has cited Bahamian MLB player Jazz Chisholm Jr. as a mentor.

2024 (DSL Mets Orange, Rookie): 47 games, .229 AVG, .356 OBP, 1 HR, 27 RBI, 27 SB in 188 PA. Showed strong on-base skills and speed but struck out quite a bit (26%).

2025 (FCL Mets, Rookie): 49 games, .175 AVG, .296 OBP, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 21 SB in 189 PA. Struggled with contact but maintained some power/speed.

Career Minor League Totals (through mid-2026): Roughly .209-.221 AVG, modest power, high strikeouts, but strong base-stealing ability (dozens of SBs) and improving plate discipline.

He primarily plays outfield (with some shortstop/infield experience) and is known for his athleticism, size, and speed.

As a toolsy, athletic prospect from the Bahamas still in Rookie ball at age 19, Adderley is a high-upside developmental player. His profile emphasizes speed and defense, with work needed on consistent hitting and reducing strikeouts. He has not yet reached full-season ball (e.g., Low-A). Mets fans view him as an intriguing international signee with potential to rise if he improves his bat.

 

Yonny Hernandez/Syracuse Mets      -      .444/.522/.667/1.189

Yonny Hernández (full name: Yonny Jose Hernández) is a Venezuelan switch-hitting infielder (primarily shortstop, second base, and third base) in the New York Mets organization.

Born: May 4, 1998 (age 28 as of 2026) in Maturin, Venezuela.

Height/Weight: 5'8" / 140 lbs (listed variably as 5'8"-5'9").

Bats/Throws: Switch / Right.

Nickname: "Mosquito" (due to his small stature and speed).

Signed: By the Texas Rangers as an international free agent in 2014 (signing bonus $200k).

He has brief MLB experience with three teams but has mostly been a depth player:

Debut: August 5, 2021, with the Texas Rangers.

Teams: Texas Rangers (2021), Arizona Diamondbacks (2022), Los Angeles Dodgers (2023).

Career MLB stats (69 games, 221 PA): .190/.286/.222 slash line, 0 HR, 10 RBI, 13 SB, 22 R.

Best year: 2021 with TEX (.217/.315/.252, 11 SB in 43 games).

Very limited pop (no career MLB homers, low ISO), but he draws walks at a decent rate and has speed.

He has not appeared in the majors since 2023.

Hernández is a classic speed-and-contact utility infielder with a long track record in the minors:

Strong base-stealer (hundreds of stolen bases career-wide).

2025 (with Mets): Solid .303/.380/.372 slash in 114 games across AA/AAA, with good on-base skills and low strikeouts.

He signed a minor-league deal with the Mets in December 2024 after time with the Brewers (released July 2024), Dodgers, and independent ball (Long Island Ducks).

As of 2026: Playing for the Syracuse Mets (Triple-A).

Strengths: Switch-hitter with plate discipline, speed (steals bases), and versatility across the infield. Good contact skills and low strikeout rates at times.

Weaknesses: Very little power (rarely hits for extra bases or homers). Small frame limits impact.

He's more of an organizational depth/utility piece than a high-upside prospect at this stage.

He's a classic "glue guy" type who can fill in at multiple positions and provide speed, but his lack of power has kept him from sticking in the majors long-term.
