Mets to Call Up Top Prospect A.J. Ewing
The New York Mets plan to call up top prospect A.J. Ewing before Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers, league sources told Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets came into Monday's action with a 15-25 record, which is the worst in the National League, and they are desperate to do something to turn their season around. Per MLB Pipeline, Ewing is New York's No. 2 prospect, behind only right-hander Jonah Tong. In 12 games at Triple-A Syracuse, Ewing has hit .326. He started the year at Double-A Binghamton, where he had a 1.052 OPS while playing strong defense in center field. The 21-year-old left-handed hitter was a fourth-rounder in 2023. Ewing is ranked No. 98 on Keith Law's top-100 list. He's known for his speed and contact ability, and he's one of the top young prospects to stash in fantasy baseball leagues, especially now that he's heading to the Show this week. The Mets are hopeful that Ewing's plus defense, plus baserunning, and developing power will give them a jolt, and fantasy managers can say the same. He's currently rostered in just 3% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should jump in the next few days.
