MACK – The Latest Hot Bats

 

John From Albany keeps churning out this list and I keep sending it your way.

On 6-18, he posted a new top five that included 1B/C Jose Serracin, who, between 6/9-6/18 went .364/.462/.636/1.098

                Jose Serracin (full name: Jose Lino Serracin) is a young catching prospect in the New York Mets' minor league system.

Position: Catcher (C), First Base

Bats/Throws: Right/Right

Height/Weight: 5'10" / 175 lbs

Born: June 7, 2008 (age 18 as of mid-2026) in David, Panama

Signed: As an undrafted free agent (UDFA) by the Mets on January 15, 2025, to a minor league contract.

He has shown some early pop and plate discipline in showcases/preseason clips (e.g., home runs in simulated games).

 

SS Angel Ozuna/DSL Blue – 6/10-6/19 – 4-RBI, 5-H, 12=PA , .500/.583/.700/1.283

Angel Ozuna is a young international prospect (infielder) who recently signed with the New York Mets.

Ozuna, from the Dominican Republic, was once viewed as a top international talent in the 2027 class. The New York Yankees were reportedly set to sign him for around $5 million, but his age was found to be falsified (he was older than listed, reportedly by about 3 years).

This led to a one-year MLB suspension. The big-money deal falling through.

Signing with the Mets for a much smaller bonus of just $10,000 (after earlier reports of interest from other teams like the Twins for ~$500K+).

He is a switch-hitter who plays infield (including second base and shortstop).

As a new signee in the DSL (Mets Blue/Orange), he has shown early promise in limited action: Strong hitting in games, including multi-hit outings, a bases-loaded triple, and production from the lower part of the order.

Noted for his bat and versatility as a young project player.

This is a low-risk, high-upside gamble for the Mets on a player with real talent but damaged reputation due to the age scandal. Many similar prospects get second chances after suspensions, and the Mets are betting on his skills at a bargain rate. He is expected to develop in the low minors initially.

 

IF Anthony Frobose/FCL Mets – 6/11-6/20 - .389/.450/,778/1.228

Anthony Frobose (full name: Anthony Jason Frobose) is a young infielder/pitcher prospect in the New York Mets' minor league system.

Born: July 17, 2007 (age 18 as of mid-2026) in Yorktown Heights, NY.

High School:         Lakeland HS in Shrub Oak, NY (Class of 2025). He was a standout two-way player (shortstop and right-handed pitcher).

Draft:                     Selected by the Mets in the 9th round (283rd overall) of the 2025 MLB Draft. He signed with the team (reported slot value around $196k–$387k range in reports) instead of attending Rutgers University, where he had committed.

Height/Weight:    6'1", 170 lbs. Bats/throws right-handed. Athletic build with multi-sport background (including football).

He was viewed as a toolsy player out of high school with good actions at shortstop, arm strength, speed, and two-way potential. Scouts noted he needed to add strength and refine his swing.

He's shown some patience (decent walk rate) but has been striking out at a higher clip as he adjusts to pro ball.

He has also appeared in limited summer league action post-draft in 2025. The Mets are developing him as a position player (primarily shortstop/infield), though he has two-way background.

Described by his high school coach as a "five-tool player" with contact/power potential, speed, and arm strength.

He's a very early-stage prospect still adjusting to professional baseball, but as a recent high school draftee with athleticism and local roots, he's one to watch in the Mets' lower minors
