Mitch Voit (Mitchell Veblen Voit) is a top New York Mets prospect, a right-handed batting/throwing infielder (primarily second base) currently with the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies.Background

• Born September 30, 2004, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (age 21). Listed at 6'0", 201 lbs.
• Attended Whitefish Bay High School (same school as Craig Counsell) and played college baseball at the University of Michigan.
• Was a two-way player (infielder/pitcher) early in college; threw low-to-mid 90s before internal brace surgery on his right elbow in 2024 essentially ended his pitching path. He focused fully on hitting as a junior in 2025.
• In 2025 at Michigan: .346/.471/.668 with 14 HR, 14 SB, more walks (40) than strikeouts (34) in 56 games. All-Big Ten First Team and All-Defensive Team; D1Baseball All-America third team. Highest Michigan MLB Draft pick since 2000.

Professional Career

• Selected by the Mets 38th overall (first-round pick, Comp Balance Tax penalty) in the 2025 MLB Draft. Signed for a $1.75 million bonus (under slot value).
• 2025 (pro debut): Single-A St. Lucie — .235 AVG, 1 HR, 20 SB in 22 games.
• 2026: Started at High-A Brooklyn Cyclones (.242/.349/.396 with 11 HR and 36 SB in 76 games). Strong second-half stretch earned a promotion to Double-A Binghamton on July 27.
• At Double-A: Extremely hot start (including multiple Eastern League Player of the Week awards). Combined 2026 minors stats (as of recent reports) around .278 AVG, .383 OBP, .444 SLG, 12 HR, 42+ SB across levels. Ranks among Mets’ top prospects (around No. 5–6 on MLB Pipeline at promotion time). Known for athleticism, speed, solid defense, contact skills, and developing power.

He’s seen as a potential future everyday middle infielder for the Mets (with second-base questions at the major-league level). Recent notes include a strong return from a brief HBP absence in late August 2026.
