Ewing Lights Up Triple-A in Mets Debut

0:00On April 30th, AJ Ewing just lit up Triple A Syracuse in his debut for the Met's top prospects. The 21-year-old went free for four with a double, a triple, a walk, and two runs batted in on Tuesday. It's a scorching start to his 20-26 season after getting promoted Monday. Before that, he dominated Double A Binghamton. In just 18 games, Owing slashed 349 over 481, slashed 571. He smacked two homers, drove in 7, drew 17 walks against 15 strikeouts, and swiped 12 bags. Fans and scouts are buzzing about his quick climb. Drafted in the fourth round back in 2023 as a compick after DeGrom left, Owing struggled early with Pro Ball. High school kid faced tough pitching, striking out over 100 times across rookie and single A levels. But 2025 flipped the script. He hit 315 slash 401 slash 429 over 3 affiliates, cut his strikeouts to under 19% and stole 70.

1:00Faces total. That played smarts and wheels turned heads fast. With versatility at second base in Outfield spots, Ewing fits the Met's shuffle perfectly. Keep torching Triple A like this, and he'll be knocking on the big league door sooner than later. That's the story for today. MLB News. Today, driven by AI.
