Overview

  • The Mets promoted Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday night.
  • Tong leads all minor leaguers with 162 strikeouts and has posted a 1.59 ERA in 102 innings this season.
  • Benge (.308/.413/.513, 12 homers) and Williams (.281/.390/.477, 32 steals) have maintained high offensive production, while Clifford’s 24 home runs top the Mets’ farm system.
  • Syracuse now holds six of New York’s top seven prospects, including Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat, with no immediate plans to add them to the major-league roster.
  • Additional promotions — notably outfielder A.J. Ewing’s move to Double-A Binghamton — underscore the organization’s depth across all minor league levels.
