Ewing vs Benge: Mets' Outfield Battle Heats Up

0:00On April 28th, the New York Met's outfield is struggling hard right now, aside from Juan Soto carrying the load. Their rookie star Carson Venge locked down right field in spring training with a home run in his debut, but he's gone cold since then, barely, producing anything. Meanwhile, prospect AJ Ewing is on fire in the minors and Jessica promoted to AAA Syracuse after dominating AA. The 21-year-old Slash 349, over 481, over 571, with two homers in just 18 games, plus 12 walks, and 17 steals. Ewing started as a second baseman, but turned into an elite defensive outfielder, nearly matching Binge's glove work while showing better play. Discipline, one of only 9 AA players walking more than he struck out with slugging over 500. Now Ewing heads to Syracuse to face top prospects, while Binge never got enough triple-A reps to adjust, leaving the Met's juggling retreads and A, fading Luis Robert Jr. in the majors.
