2025 Mets Minor League All-Stars
The New York Mets’ farm system was one of the best in baseball in 2025 by winning percentage (2nd overall), but it also saw top prospects play well and a couple of players break out, putting them in the top prospect conversations.
I’m going to take a look at the players who performed best in 2025, regardless of their prospect standing. These folks just flat out hit or pitched well during the 2025 season. It’s a combination of names you’re likely to be pretty familiar with and maybe a couple you’re hearing about for the first time. This is the Mets’ minor league All-Star team from MMO for 2025:

Catcher
The Bronx native had a career season between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton with 16 home runs, 68 RBIs and a 139 wRC+. He led all minor leaguers who played a majority of their time behind the plate, with 35 stolen bases. The 21-year-old showed off his versatility with 21 games in left field and 16 at first base. He finished off his strong 2025 campaign with a .920 OPS in 15 Arizona Fall League games.
Honorable mention: Yovanny Rodriguez was great in DSL play with a 147 wRC+ across 168 plate appearances.
First Base
The 22-year-old led all Mets minor leaguers in 2025 with 29 home runs, 93 RBIs and 85 walks. Clifford started the season in Double-A Binghamton and finished in Triple-A Syracuse. Overall, he played 70 games at first base, 28 games in left field, 25 games in right field and was the designated hitter for 22 games. His raw numbers in Triple-A weren’t as impressive as Double-A, but his exit velocity was in the 94th percentile.
Honorable mention: Randy Guzman posted an impressive 147 wRC+ between rookie-level FCL and the Low-A St. Lucie Mets. In addition to first base, he also played both corner outfield spots and a few games at third base. I’d also like to mention Trace Willhoite, an undrafted free agent who hit 16 home runs and knocked in 73 between St. Lucie and Brooklyn.
Second Base
Okay, so I’m bending the rules a bit here because the Mets didn’t have a strong performer in 2025 who played mostly second. Williams, 22, did play 28 games at second base compared to 70 at shortstop and 27 in center field between Binghamton and Syracuse. Williams was coming off a mostly lost season in 2024 when injuries held him to only 33 games, and he bounced back in a big way. The former first rounder set a career-high with 34 doubles and 17 home runs. He stole 34 bases and posted a 135 wRC+.
Honorable mention: Youngster Yorber Semprun hit .307/.386/.409 with 15 steals in 41 games in the DSL. He played second, shortstop and third base.
Shortstop
I typically try to give the edge to players from full-season leagues, but Peña finished off the season incredibly and was simply one of the best overall players in the DSL. The 18-year-old didn’t have a hit over his first nine career games (0-for-26), though he still ended up hitting .292/.421/.528 and a 146 wRC+. He finished with nine home runs –including hitting three homers in a game twice– 33 RBIs and 21 stolen bases. Obviously, a super small sample size, but the left-handed hitter posted a 1.162 OPS against lefty pitchers.
Honorable mention: Veteran minor leaguer Yonny Hernández posted a .380 OBP between Binghamton and Syracuse.
Third Base
When the Mets drafted Reimer in the fourth round three years ago, they knew they were getting a guy with an advanced knowledge of the strike zone and believed he would also develop in-game power. The 21-year-old broke out in 2025 with 32 doubles, five triples, 17 home runs, 77 RBIs and 15 steals in 16 tries. His 157 wRC+ led the Mets’ minor leagues for the season. The breakout has Reimer climbing into the Top 100 prospects list — he’s been featured in Baseball Prospectus (No. 52) and FanGraphs (No. 63).
Honorable Mention: Yunior Amparo played seven different positions in the DSL (including 10 games at 3B) while posting a .903 OPS and stealing 16 bases.

Outfield
You likely knew the name already before David Stearns mentioned Benge as a possibility for the Opening Day roster, though the expectations for the 22-year-old are certainly higher now. The 2024 first rounder hit .281/.385/.472 with 25 doubles, seven triples, 15 home runs, 73 RBIs and 22 steals in 116 games between Brooklyn, Binghamton and Syracuse. His .583 OPS in 24 games at Triple-A Syracuse isn’t indicative of the quality of his plate appearances there. His Triple-A batted ball data had him in the 90th percentile for exit velocity, 94th percentile for barrels and 93rd percentile for expected slugging.
The former two-way player played all three outfield positions in 2025, with 67 games in center, 26 in right and 22 in left. His overall 150 wRC+ on offense was second in the Mets system, only to Reimer. Another impressive note was his 8.1 swinging strike percentage in 2025, the fourth lowest among full season Mets minor leaguers. He also struck out only 17.7% of the time.
70 steals in 124 games is a lot, and it’s quite the jump from the 13 steals Ewing had in 90 games in 2024. The 21-year-old hit .315/.401/.429 with 26 doubles, 10 triples, three home runs and 55 RBIs between St. Lucie, Brooklyn and Binghamton. His 147 wRC+ was fourth among full season Mets minor leaguers. His 10 triples led the Mets minor leaguers, with the next closest being Benge, Williams and Colin Houck with seven.
Defensively, Ewing played all three outfield spots (though a majority in center with 76 games) and stayed at second base for 19 games.
The 19-year-old looked comfortable in his first taste of stateside baseball, ranking fourth in the Florida Complex League with his 144 wRC+ and 1.14 walk-to-strikeout ratio. The right-handed hitter slashed .288/.433/.399 with 13 steals in 49 complex games. He played all three outfield spots, with 43 of the 49 coming in center.
Honorable mention: Nick Morabito stole 49 bases in the regular season before posting a .914 OPS in the AFL. Justin Ramirez posted a .917 OPS in the DSL, though he was two years older than the league average. Heriberto Rincon posted an .821 OPS and stole 34 bases in 53 DSL games.
Utility Player
The 24-year-old stole 31 bases in 34 tries between Brooklyn and Binghamton while playing all three outfield spots and second base. The former fifth-round pick hit .282/.345/.417 in 101 games.
Honorable mention: Yonatan Henriquez played LF, RF, CF, SS, 2B and 3B while stealing 35 bases between St. Lucie and Brooklyn.

Starters
Tong wasn’t just the best Mets minor league starter in 2025; he was named the best starter in the entire minor leagues by Baseball America. He was dominant with a 1.59 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 102 innings in Double-A. He then tossed 11 2/3 scoreless innings with 17 strikeouts in Triple-A before his major league promotion. In the majors, the 22-year-old showed flashes of why he’s one of the best pitching prospects in baseball and also why he probably would’ve benefited from more than two Triple-A starts.
The 24-year-old had a 2.45 ERA in 113 2/3 minor league innings between Double-A and Triple-A before the Mets needed him in the bigs. He was even better with the Mets, pitching to a 2.06 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 46 innings across his first eight major league starts. He limited opponents to only 34 hits, and cut his walks from 10.7% in the minors to 8.5% in the majors.
Wenninger might be the best Mets pitching prospect you haven’t likely heard a ton of hype around. The 23-year-old added a few ticks to his fastball for the 2025 season and his splitter looks like a legit whiff pitch. He posted a 2.92 ERA and struck out 147 batters over 135 2/3 innings for Double-A Binghamton in 2025. He finished the season off with two sparkling postseason starts (11 IP, 2 ER, 20 K), including the Eastern League Championship game.
Before the 2025 season, I wrote about Watson as a breakout candidate, and I’d say he did just that. The 23-year-old had a 2.60 ERA (ranked 19th among 288 minor league pitchers with at least 100 innings) and 142 strikeouts in 121 1/3 innings with St. Lucie, Brooklyn and Binghamton. Watson limited opponents to a .202 average and gave up only eight home runs the entire season. Watson sits at 94/95 mph with his fastball, which gets up to 97 mph at times, and has flashed elite induced vertical break. He mixes in a cutter, slider and changeup.
The recently turned 23-year-old almost feels like the forgotten one in the Mets’ pitching prospect group despite being a second-round pick in 2024. The lefty posted a 3.06 ERA and struck out 138 in 117 2/3 innings between Brooklyn and Binghamton in 2025. After his promotion to Double-A, Santucci seemingly got even better. He improved on his K% (32.0), lowered the opponents’ batting average (.185) and got his groundball rate up almost 5% (51.1%).
Honorable mentions: LHP Zach Thornton (1.98 ERA in 72 innings), RHP R.J. Gordon (27.3 K%), Brendan Girton (27.7 K%), LHP Daviel Hurtado (2.06 ERA in 65 innings) and RHP Jose Chirinos (.195 AVG).

Relievers
The cousin of former Met Wilmer Flores pitched to a 1.70 ERA and picked up six saves in 47 2/3 innings between Brooklyn and Binghamton. The 22-year-old’s 37.6 K% ranked fourth among Mets minor leaguers.
Right above García on the strikeout percentage list is Lambert at 39.5%. The 23-year-old gave up only one home run all year, en route to a 1.62 ERA and seven saves between Brooklyn and Binghamton.
The right-hander has been up to 102 mph with his fastball and his splitter gets a ton of whiffs. He had a 2.17 ERA and seven saves during the 2025 season, and finished impressively with a 1.69 ERA in 32 innings with Triple-A Syracuse. He’s on the 40-man roster and will be an arm to watch in major league camp.
Could be on the team just for his name, though he earned his spot with a 2.09 ERA and nine saves between St. Lucie and Brooklyn.
Honorable mentions: RHP Brian Metoyer (1.70 ERA, 34.9 K%), RHP Dakota Hawkins (2.44 ERA), RHP Douglas Orellana (2.96 ERA), RHP Carlos Guzman (9 SV, .174 AVG) and RHP Jace Hampson (2.79 ERA)
