New York Mets' No. 6 prospect Ryan Clifford spent his 2025 season progressing from Double-A to Triple-A in the minor leagues.

Clifford also flashed some promise in the minors with a .826 OPS and a 13.1 K-BB%. The 22-year-old started the year as a first baseman and played a total of 70 games there, but also transitioned to playing outfield for a total of 53 games in the minor leagues. Clifford was invited to spring training in 2026 to further improve his ability to play corner outfield and also work on his batter's eye, as evidenced by the .237 overall BA last year.
