Meet the Mets pitching prospects positioned to have huge impact on season

The Mets have a budding star in Nolan McLean, but they also have other starting prospects who could make an impact this season.

Jonah Tong (22 years old)

2025 minor league stats: 1.43 ERA, 22 starts, 179 strikeouts, 47 walks, 113 ⅔ innings

The take: Tong’s taste of the majors last season contained a blend of good and bad. His unusual delivery adds some funk to his repertoire, which includes a fastball and a curveball.

Christian Scott (26 years old)

2025 stats: Didn’t pitch (Tommy John recovery)
