New York Mets Top 30 Prospects 2023 Preseason

April 6, 2023

Yes, the New York Mets are big spender these days, but their farm system remains a strength, offering depth  and some impact up the middle.

There may be some holes in the pitching, but the safe bet is free agency and trades take care of that for the foreseeable future.

Ages as of July 1, 2023

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
1 21 Francisco Alvarez C 60

Alvarez has all the tools to be be an all-star catcher and offer value in all facets, but it’s a power-over-hit approach, suggesting it may take some time to come to fruition.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
2 23 Brett Baty 3B 55

Baty could be the next third baseman for the Mets, but has some experience in the outfield if the club wants to make room for a plus hitter with 25-homer power.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
3 21 Kevin Parada C 55

There are some questions about the glove, but Parada has every chance to hit for average and produce above-average power no matter where he plays.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
4 22 Ronny Mauricio SS 50

Maurico is a tolsy shortstop with enough glove to stick, and there are plenty of signs he’ll hit enough to make an impact, led by plus power.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
5 19 Jett Williams SS 50

The aptly-named Williams can fly, projects well defensively, and should be an average or better performer at the plate, even with below average power.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
6 20 Alex Ramirez OF 50

He’s a bit wild in his plate discipline, but makes contact with a chance at impact power as he learns to create backspin.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
7 22 Blade Tidwell RHP 45

Tidwell has shown a quality three-pitch mix with a chance at a plus fastball and average command.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
8 23 Mike Vasil RHP 45

Vasil lacks impact offspeed stuff, but has a chance to get his fastball all the way back, helping his fring secondaries play up in a starting role.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
9 20 Calvin Ziegler RHP 45

Consistent control and Ziegler is at least a bullpen arm with a swing-and-miss slider, but he’s shown feel for a changeup and has time to develop.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
10 24 Dominic Hamel RHP 45

It’s a mid-rotation ceiling, but Hamel has four projectable pitches, headlined by a slider thats flashed plus that may allow him to pitch out of the bullpen long-term.
