Mets Elevate Top Prospect A.J. Ewing to Triple-A Syracuse

The move positions a 21-year-old with elite on-base skills as a near-term option for a struggling lineup.

Overview

  • Ewing, promoted Monday to Triple-A Syracuse, earned the jump after hitting .349 with a 1.052 OPS and 12 steals over 18 Double-A games.
  • The left-handed hitter pairs patience with speed, leading Mets minor leaguers in average, on-base percentage, slugging, and walks with 17 while posting a 181 wRC+.
  • He has walked more than he has struck out, 17 to 15, and showed growing power with back-to-back home runs late last week in Binghamton.
  • A center fielder and second baseman, he enters a Syracuse roster packed with prospects, including Nick Morabito and Ryan Clifford, which will shape his playing time.
  • MLB Pipeline still projects a 2027 debut, yet last year’s quick promotions of Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong, and Brandon Sproat suggest the Mets could accelerate his timeline if the offense continues to lag.
