Ewing's Triple-A Debut: Mets Prospect Shines

0:00On April 29th, Mets prospect AJ Ewing turn heads in his triple-A debut Tuesday night with Syracuse. The outfielder and infielder went three-for-four at the plate, drew a walk, scored two runs, and knocked in two. He wasted no time, ripping a stand-up triple off a 93-mile per hour fastball to lead off the game. That triple came with serious pop, clocking an exit velocity over 100 miles per hour, and he scored soon after on a teammate's homer. Ewing kept a pressure on with a single in the seventh that led to another run, then capped it with a key double in the eighth to plate two more. Fans and Scouts are buzzing about his smooth transition from AA, where he hit 349 with a 481 on-base percentage and A. 1053 OPS over 18 games. He also swiped 12 bags and popped two homers there. SNY ranks him as the Mets No. 3 prospect overall, right behind Nolan McLean and Carson Benjay. His ability to play centerfield and second base as even more value to his bat.
