Mets to call up prospect A.J. Ewing (source)
Key Points:
- The Mets are calling up outfielder A.J. Ewing, one of their top position player prospects, after just 12 games at Triple-A Syracuse to boost their offense.
- Ewing is the Mets' second-ranked prospect and top position-player prospect following Carson Benge's promotion out of prospect status.
- He has shown strong offensive potential, batting .326/.392/.435 with five stolen bases in Triple-A and .349/.481/.571 at Double-A Binghamton earlier this season.
- Drafted in the fourth round in 2023, Ewing led the Mets organization with 70 stolen bases last season across three minor league levels, being caught only 11 times.
- Ewing's combination of speed and high on-base percentages positions him as a potential leadoff hitter at the major league level.
