July 11, 2026

NEW YORK -- If it’s velocity you’re after, Carson Wiggins is your man. Wiggins, whom the Mets selected 27th overall in the Major League Baseball Draft on Saturday, hit 102 mph on the radar gun last year as a 20-year-old. He’s following in his brother Jaxon’s footsteps as one of

Mets' High-A affiliate falls one out shy of no-hitter on Seaver anniversary

July 9, 2026

June 9, 2026

Mets phenom Ewing scoffs at power grade, goes 405 feet for 1st HR

May 14, 2026

NEW YORK -- Speed has always been a part of A.J. Ewing’s prospect profile. On-base acumen, absolutely. Power? Not so much. Yet Ewing, who hit just three home runs last season in the Minors, needed only three games to launch his first as a big leaguer. The recent callup took

May 12, 2026

NEW YORK -- What stands out most on A.J. Ewing’s scouting report is the speed. MLB Pipeline, which rates Ewing as the No. 2 prospect in Flushing and No. 78 in baseball, gave his speed a 70 grade on the traditional 20-80 scouting scale. That translates to “plus-plus,” or some
