MACK - The Latest Top Five Lowest ERAs


 

Period:     June 8-21


 Cam Tilly/St. Lucie –

 

        10-IP, 7-K, 3-BB, 0.00/0.50

 

        Cam Tilly (full name: Cameron Wayne Tilly) is a right-handed pitching prospect in the New York Mets organization.

Born: June 27, 2004 (age 21) in Newburgh, Indiana.

Height/Weight: 6'2", 207 lbs.

Bats/Throws: Right/Right.

High School: Castle HS (Newburgh, IN) — standout performer with a dominant prep career (e.g., 11-0, 0.66 ERA as a senior).

College: Auburn University — pitched primarily in relief with some starts. In 2025 (sophomore year), he went 3-3 with a 5.48 ERA, 58 strikeouts in 46 IP.

Draft:     Selected by the Mets in the 7th round (No. 223 overall) of the 2025 MLB Draft out of Auburn. Signed for $397,500 (above slot value).

He was also part of the gold medal-winning USA Baseball 18U national team in 2022.

He made his pro debut in 2026 after a brief appearance in the FCL (Florida Complex League) in 2025.

He's shown flashes of strong performance, including a 5-inning no-hit outing in his first pro start.

The Mets are developing him as a starter due to his pitch mix.

Fastball: Sits 92-94 mph, up to 97.

Secondary pitches: Slider (swing-and-miss), splitter (plus potential with good drop), curveball.

Strengths: Interesting arsenal with swing-and-miss stuff; willing to use secondaries.

Areas to improve: Control/command (below average), consistency.

MLB Pipeline Rank: No. 27 in the Mets system (2026). Overall prospect grade around 40, with starter upside but possible bullpen fit if command lags.

Tilly is a relatively new pro with promising stuff and early success (including the no-hitter), but he's still refining his game in Single-A. He's viewed as a solid mid-round developmental piece for the Mets. Keep an eye on his strikeout rates and ability to limit hard contact as he advances.

 


Emilio Obispo/St. Lucie –

   

        9-IP, 11-K, 4-BB, 0.00/1.00

 

                                 Emilio Jose Obispo is a 19-year-old right-handed pitching prospect in the New York Mets minor league system.

Born: August 14, 2006, in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic.

Height/Weight: 5'11", 150 lbs.

Bats/Throws: Right/Right.

The Mets signed him as an international free agent on May 16, 2024.

He began his professional career in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) in 2024 with the Mets Orange team (Rookie level). In 9 starts:

0-5 record

3.47 ERA

36.1 IP

41 strikeouts

12 walks

1.38 WHIP

He showed strong strikeout ability (over 10 K/9) but struggled with wins and allowed a fair number of hits.

In 2025, he dealt with injuries (placed on the 60-day IL with the FCL Mets) but returned later in the year.

Recent starts have drawn positive attention, with low-run outings, strikeouts, and promising velocity (reports of 93-95+ mph fastball plus a good breaking ball).

He is viewed as a developing starting pitcher with upside due to his age, strikeout stuff, and command potential.

He remains a lower-tier prospect without major top-30 organizational rankings yet, but his early 2026 results in full-season ball are encouraging for the Mets' rebuilding/development pipeline.

 


Randy Guzman/DSLO –

 

        8.1-IP, 13-K, 1-BB, 0.00/0.72

 

        Unable to find information on THIS Randy Guzman. Only stats for the outfielder are online.

 


Miquel Meijas/St. Luice –

 

        7.2-IP, 6-K, 1-BB, 0.00/0.26

 

        Miguel Mejias (full name: Miguel Alejandro Mejias) is a right-handed relief pitcher in the New York Mets minor league system.

Born: November 2, 2004 (age 21) in Higuerote, Venezuela

Height/Weight: 6'1" / 150 lbs

Bats/Throws: Right/Right

Current Team: St. Lucie Mets (Single-A, Florida State League)

The Mets signed him as an international free agent on October 15, 2022. He has progressed through the Mets' lower levels:

2023: Dominican Summer League (DSL Mets Blue) — Appeared in 11 games (1 start), went 2-0 with a 5.25 ERA in 12.0 IP.

2024: Missed significant time due to injury (placed on IL multiple times with the FCL Mets).

2025: Florida Complex League (FCL Mets) — 4 appearances, 4.15 ERA in 4.1 IP.

Career Minor League Stats (through 2026)

Record: 3-0

ERA: Around 4.76–5.68 (depending on exact games included)

Innings: ~22–23 IP

Strikeouts: 19

WHIP: ~1.54

He primarily works out of the bullpen (very few starts) and has shown some strikeout ability but also control issues (high walk rates in smaller samples). He's a slender, projectable right-hander still early in his development.

 


Dakota Hawkins/Brooklyn –

 

        7-IP, 9-K, 0-BB, 0.00/0.71G

 

        Dakota Hawkins (full name: Dakota James Hawkins) is a right-handed pitcher in the New York Mets' minor league system.

Born: March 20, 2000 (age 26) in Centralia, WA.

Height/Weight: 6'0", 208 lbs.

Bats/Throws: Right/Right.

He played high school baseball at W.F. West High (Chehalis, WA), spent two years at Lower Columbia College (Longview, WA), and then three seasons at Washington State University (WSU).

At WSU, he had a strong senior year in 2023 (5-3, 4.32 ERA in 14 starts, leading the team in innings and strikeouts) and earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention.

He signed with the Mets as an undrafted free agent on July 19, 2023.

Hawkins has progressed through the Mets' system since signing, primarily with affiliates like the FCL Mets, St. Lucie (A), Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A), Binghamton (AA), and Syracuse (AAA). He has shuttled between levels multiple times, especially in 2025.

He has transitioned more toward relief/bullpen work in recent seasons, which has helped his performance and brought him close to the majors (multiple call-ups to AAA).

Hawkins throws a fastball, slider, changeup, and other offerings. He has shown good strikeout ability (often 8-10+ K/9 in stronger outings) and has improved command in shorter stints. As of 2025-2026, he's viewed as a depth arm who has reached AAA and continues to compete for a potential big-league opportunity, particularly in relief.

Some names for the radar screen. Each are showing faint blips on the screen. After seeing the struggles of Tong, Wenninger, Thornton, Sproat, Hamel, and Vasil when they get to AAA, it is hard to get excited about ANY prospect pitcher until they get to, and succeed at, AAA.

Well faint blips are what the big club is showing so where do we go from here DS?

Gary, when most moves detonate in one’s face in Metsville, better to just sit there and do nothing.

Do you mean I should stop compiling this?
