Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/6/26: Will What’s-going-on-son!?

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (18-15)

ROCHESTER 3, SYRACUSE 2 / 6 (BOX)

Ryan Clifford drove in a run in the bottom of the first to give Syracuse the initial lead, but it wouldn’t last long. In the top of the fourth, the newly signed Jack Weisenburger allowed three runs, giving the Red Wings a 3-1 lead. Christian Pache got Syracuse within a run in the sixth with an RBI single- had Nick Morabito not been thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, he would’ve tied the game- but they quickly ran out of time. Rain began falling,

and the umpiring crew decided to call things off there.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (10-18)

HARTFORD 10, BINGHAMTON 2 (BOX)

It was a disastrous start for Will Watson, who came into the season with high expectations but has fallen far, far short of them so far. The right-hander did not even get out of the first, recording just two outs. He labored, throwing 20 of his 37 pitches for strikes, and allowed four runs on three hits- one of which was a grand slam- and two walks. His replacement, Tanner Witt, did not fare much better, allowing 4 runs in 1.1 innings. Suffice to say, down by eight runs in the second inning, the Rumble Ponies failed to make this one a competitive ballgame. Of note, Wyatt Young pitched not just one, but two innings, and did not allow a run, scattering three hits. This is, unbelievably, the third game that he’s pitched this season, and has a 2.25 ERA on the year, allowing one earned run in 4.0 innings over three games. Move over, Nolan McLean!

POSTPONED (RAIN)

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (13-15)

ST. LUCIE 6, LAKELAND 2 (BOX)

St. Lucie already had the lead thanks to a Chase Meggers RBI in the second, but a five-run fourth gave them plenty of extra room. In the inning, JT Benson hit a two-run homer and  Elian Pena a three-run homer.  Tyler McLoughlin allowed a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh, breaking up the shutout that R.J Gordon, Daviel Hurtado, and Ryan Dollar had going, but outside of that blip, the Flying Tigers never really threatened at any point.
