Jonah Tong Finding his Footing at Triple-A, Emerging as Top Stash Option
New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong has begun to turn the corner after a slow start to the Triple-A campaign and is emerging as a top stash option among pitchers. Tong was in contention to break camp with the MLB roster but was optioned to Syracuse to put the finishing touches on his development. Over his first 15 1/3 frames of the Triple-A campaign (four starts), Tong posted a high 7.04 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP. However, over his last four outings (21 innings), Tong has looked far stronger, posting a strong 2.57 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP. During this stint, Tong has racked up 29 punchouts while walking 11 hitters. With the Mets lacking many proven options at the back-end of their rotation, the No. 42-ranked prospect in the sport could return to Queens in the near future, making him a top stash option.
