The Mets are calling up top A.J. Ewing, their most exciting prospect right now, per a report by Will Sammon. The 21-year-old was drafted by the Mets in the fourth round in 2023, and he’s been even better this season than he was in his breakout year in the minors last year.
After finishing the 2025 season in Double-A Binghamton following two promotions earlier in that season, Ewing started this season back in Binghamton. But after hitting an outstanding .349/.481/.571 with two home runs and twelve
stolen bases, he was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse.
Since that promotion, Ewing has appeared in twelve games at the highest level of the minors, and he’s hit .326/.392/.435 despite not hitting a home run yet at the level. He’s stolen five more bases since that promotion, too, giving him a total of 17 steals in a season that’s only seen him be caught stealing once.
There’s no word yet on who the Mets will cut to make room for Ewing on the active roster, but given the putrid state of the major league lineup, there are plenty of options. He’s played center field the overwhelming majority of the time this season, but he has played a good amount of second base in his professional career. He’s logged innings in both outfield corners, as well.
