With the MLB draft and trade deadline both now passed, ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel has updated his 2025 in-season top 100 MLB prospects, and the list includes six Mets prospects:

No. 18 – Jett Williams, SS

After a great Double-A campaign in Binghamton, the Mets recently promoted Williams to Triple-A Syracuse earlier this month.

Prior to his promotion, Williams was batting .281/.390/.477, with a .867 OPS with the Rumble Ponies. He had struck for 29 doubles, five triples, 10 home runs, walked 62 times, driving in 37 RBIs and had 70 runs scored. He also showed off his speed with 32 stolen bases.

Back in July, the 21-year-old was the only player in minor league baseball with 10+ home runs, 25+ doubles, and 25+ stolen bases. He ranked top-5 in Double-A as well for runs scored, extra base hits, OPS, and SLG. He has been splitting his time between shortstop, second base and center field.

Since his promotion to Syracuse, Williams has continued his hot streak, hitting .286/.333/.500, with a .833 OPS. He is 8-for-28 with a double, triple, home run, RBI, two walks, and four runs scored.

No. 19 – Nolan McLean, RHP

After going 8-5, with a 2.45 ERA and 127 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.13 through 113 2/3 innings, McLean got the call on Friday that he was going to the big leagues.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old from Willow Spring, North Carolina, made his major league debut, and it was one to remember. He pitched a scoreless 5 1/3 innings, giving up just two hits, walking four, and striking out eight. He picked up the win in his debut and he will stay in the Mets rotation.

No. 21 – Jonah Tong, RHP

Tong, 22, is also having a phenomenal 2025 season. Along with Williams, after soaring through Double-A, he found himself packing his bags to head to Syracuse earlier this month.

During his time with Double-A Binghamton, he was 8-5 with a 1.59 ERA and 162 strikeouts through 102 innings. He had a WHIP of 0.92.

In his first start with Syracuse on Saturday, he picked up right where he left off. He threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings, giving up just three hits, walking two, and striking out nine, earning his first Triple-A win along the way.

Per Mathew Brownstein of Metsmerized Online, among 112 pitchers who have 100+ innings pitched in the minor leagues this season, Tong currently ranks first in ERA (1.50 cumulative), first in strikeout percentage (40.8), first in FIP (1.67), first in batters’ average against him (.143), second in WHIP (0.92), second in SwStr% (16.8), and sixth in GB% (54.1).

No. 27 – Carson Benge, OF

Benge, the Mets’ first-round draft pick from 2024 (Pick no. 19 overall), was having a great season in the minor leagues before an unlucky injury sidelined him on Saturday. He had just been a part of the group of prospects called up to Triple-A Syracuse when, in his fourth game with the team, he went down with an injury that has him now on the 7-day injured list (retroactive to August 16).

Prior to that, Benge had spent the first part of the season with High-A Brooklyn, where he batted .3-2/.417/.480, with a .897 OPS through 60 games. He had 18 doubles, five triples, four home runs, drove in 37 RBIs, scored 47 runs, and had 15 stolen bases.

Upon being called up to Double-A Binghamton, he continued to hit the ball well, batting .317/.407/.571, with a .978 OPS. He hit six doubles, a triple, eight home runs, drove in 23 RBIs, had 28 runs scored, and 23 stolen bases.

After 32 games in Double-A, just a year after being drafted, the 22-year-old found himself just one step away from the big leagues with a call-up to Triple-A Syracuse. Prior to going on the injured list, he was batting .250/.400/.250, with a .650 OPS. He was 3-for-12 with two runs scored.

No. 74 – A.J. Ewing, OF/2B

Drafted in 2023, Ewing has found himself cruising through the minor leagues here in 2025. The left-handed batter has progressed from Low-A St. Lucie to Double-A Binghamton this season. Over that time, he has stolen 61 bases and been caught only nine times. The 21-year-old has played all three outfield spots and 13 games at second base this year.

During his time with St. Lucie, he was hitting .400/.506/.615, with a huge 1.121 OPS. He had three doubles, four triples, one home run, 20 RBIs, and 15 runs scored. He was walked 15 times and stole 14 bases.

Upon being called up to High-A Brooklyn, he continued to progress well, batting .288/.387/.388, with a .775 OPS. He had 16 doubles, four triples, two home runs, drove in 26 RBIs, and had 52 runs scored. He stole 44 bases with Brooklyn.

Ewing was called up to Double-A Binghamton earlier in August. Through seven games with the team, he is hitting .233/.303/.300, with a .603 OPS. He has a double, one RBI, four runs scored, and has stolen three times.

No. 83 – Brandon Sproat

After a rocky start to the 2025 season with Triple-A Syracuse, Sproat has begun to really turn things over and has impressed as of late. Over the course of the season, he is 7-6, with a 4.24 ERA. Through 110 1/3 innings, he has struck out 100 and a 1.23 WHIP. He has given up just 87 hits and 49 walks, along with just 52 earned runs.

In his most recent outing on Tuesday, Sproat struck out eight batters in six innings of one-run ball. He threw 83 pitches on Tuesday (54 for strikes). In his last nine outings, he has a 2.05 ERA with 57 strikeouts as things seem to be clicking for the 24-year-old from Pensacola and the former Florida Gator.

And within the first 10 spots outside of the top 100 is Mets third base prospect Jacob Reimer. The 21-year-old from Redlands, CA has split the season between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton, where he is hitting a combined .271/.372/.469, with a .841 OPS. Through 103 games, he has 25 doubles, four triples, 14 home runs, 62 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases.

The Prospect Promotion Incentive requires players to be listed on the preseason top 100 from two of ESPN, Baseball America and MLB Pipeline to be eligible. While this list doesn’t count towards that, it’s certainly a good sign for the ESPN preseason list that comes out for next season.
