Mets Promoting Prospect Nick Morabito, Worth an Add Ahead of Debut?
New York Mets outfielder Nick Morabito is poised to make his MLB debut after getting a promotion on Tuesday, as the Mets designated veteran Austin Slater for assignment. Morabito will join an exciting young outfield in New York with rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing already in the mix. While Ewing and Benge are lefties, Morabito is a right-handed hitter, which could help him earn playing time. Just a few weeks after his 23rd birthday, Morabito should bring instant speed potential after swiping 49 bases in 118 games in Double-A last season and adding 14 stolen bases in 41 games in Triple-A this year. He hit .253 in Syracuse with a .350 wOBA and four homers, but his primary fantasy asset initially will be his stolen base upside as he works his way into the Mets lineup. If you need stolen bases from the waiver wire, Morabito is a nice speculative grab in deep leagues.
