Jonah Tong Promoted to Major Leagues
The New York Mets are promoting top right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong to the major leagues, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Tong is currently considered the team's No. 2-ranked prospect and the No. 52 overall-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com. Tong joined the Mets in the seventh round of the 2022 MLB Draft. This season, the right-hander has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the entire minor leagues. He opened the season with Double-A and tossed 102 innings to the tune of a stellar 1.59 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. During this stretch, Tong struck out an eye-catching 162 hitters. He then only needed two starts at Triple-A to prove he was ready to join the majors. In this brief taste, Tong tossed 11 2/3 innings with a 17:3 K:BB. Given his immense strikeout upside, Tong should be viewed as a priority waiver-wire target in all formats.
