Minor League Game Chat: Syracuse Mets on SNY

The New York Mets have already finished their series with the Atlanta Braves earlier on Thursday, but all four of their full-season affiliates are in action, including Triple-A Syracuse on SNY at 6:35 p.m. ET.

Mets pitching prospect Christian Scott has created quite a buzz already for Syracuse this season after striking out 10 in his second Triple-A start on Wednesday night. Impressive pitching prospect Dom Hamel gets the start tonight for Syracuse.

Triple-A
Worcester Red Sox (4-6) vs. Syracuse Mets (5-5)
Gameday 6:35 PM

Syracuse’s offensive story so far this season has been Mark Vientos. He hit his third homer on Wednesday night and has a 1.016 OPS in 10 games. The other big news story from Syracuse is unfortunate: outfield prospect Drew Gilbert was placed on the injured list with a mild strain of his right hamstring.

Double-A
Binghamton Rumble Ponies (2-3) vs. Erie SeaWolves (3-2)
Gameday —Postponed

Outfield prospect Alex Ramírez is off to a hot start for Binghamton with four stolen bases and a 1.048 OPS. Jett Williams had been off to a slow start before hitting a double and triple on Wednesday.

Right-hander Joander Suarez gets the start tonight for Binghamton. He tossed five scoreless innings with six strikeouts in his first outing of the year and hasn’t allowed a run in his last 29 innings since last season, giving up only six hits during that span.

This game has been postponed.

High-A
Asheville Tourists (3-2) vs. Brooklyn Cyclones (1-4)
Gameday 7:00 PM

The Brooklyn Cyclones’ team OPS enters the game at only .518, and they have just one home run (Ryan Clifford) on the season. Infielder William Lugo has been the lone bright spot, with eight walks already putting his on-base percentage at .522 through five games. Two-way player Nolan McLean made his first start on Wednesday, and he struck out two in 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Brandon Sproat pitched 2 2/3 scoreless in his first start of the season despite five walks, in large part because he also struck out five.

Noah Hall will start on Thursday for Brooklyn. The 2023 allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings in his pro debut earlier this season.

Low-A
St. Lucie Mets (2-3) vs. Jupiter Hammerheads (2-3)
Gameday 630 PM

St. Lucie is another Mets affiliate having a tough start to the season offensively with a .583 OPS and only one home run (Nick Morabito). The 20-year-old Morabito has a .867 OPS and two stolen bases for the Mets. Catcher/first baseman Ronald Hernandez leads the team with his .984 OPS.

The pitching highlight of the season came when 20-year-old Jonah Tong struck out 11 batters in only 4 1/3 innings.

Max Kranick gets the start for St. Lucie in his second rehab appearance. He pitched 2/3 of an inning on Sunday as he recovers from a hamstring strain he suffered during big league spring camp.
