0:00It's April 29th. This is New York Metz News Today, Teen News Powered by AI. Metz prospect AJ Ewing just crashed the Triple A party in style. The team's number three guy made his Syracuse debut Tuesday night, ripping a 104.4 mile per hour triple that literally broke the outfield fence. Dude sprinted to third in 11.74 seconds. Fastest triple time for any met this season or last. The inner-fielder, Stewart Barrowa, chased it down, slammed into the wall, and the whole thing burst open on him. Ewing's near elite speed, clocked at 29.1 feet per second. By night's end, he had three hits, including a two run double, and their 10-to-4 win over Lehigh Valley. Fans and scouts are buzzing about this 21-year-olds breakout. He tore up AA early this year, hitting 349 with a 481 on base and solid power, plus 12 steals and 13 tries. His walk rate jumped to 21 percent, showing real growth.

1:01Drafted in the fourth round back in 2023 is calm, for losing Jacob DeGrom. Ewing struggled at first with strikeouts in single A, but last year he exploded across three levels, batting 310 and swiping 70 bags. Spring training had him going 8 for 21 with four steals, and pressing the big league staff. Now MLB's 85th overall prospect, Ewing plays with that hair on fire energy. AA pitchers better brace themselves, he's just getting started.
