The Mets have reportedly signed RHP Alex Carrillo He topped out at 101 in the Independent Frontier League, he has a low release and a hard slider Here are numbers on him courtesy of Tony Medina ⚾, the Mets may try getting him to throw a true FF instead of that sinker

Playing with my advanced scouting app: According to the heatmaps Muncy and Ohtani (duh) could do damage against Paul Blackburn tonight Blackburn’s cutter is his best pitch. The problem is he throws it up and middle-in, right where guys like Muncy and Ohtani do damage

Blackburn had an incredible outing today - the stat line only scratches the surface

Here’s a slow motion 4-seam from Tong, can really see the cut he gets

For the past week or so I’ve been working on a ranking the top pitching prospects in the Mets system… The sheer volume of quality arms they have is just insane, I already have ranked 30 and there are still more to research Excited to release the full list

What You Don't Know About Pronation and Supination:🧵

The Nastiest Reliever You've Never Heard Of:🪡🧵

📍Cape Cod ⚾️

I have Pintaro ranked as my No. 11 pitching prospect in the Mets system His splitter is absolutely nasty and will generate whiffs at this level He has a low release point, FB around the mid-90s, a smaller cutter/slider, and slider with more sweep 2024 AAA data (1 Game):

Get ready for some nasty Splitters

Here’s how Carrillo has looked in AAA: That changeup is new, and nasty. At 90 mph with that kind of movement, it could be a legit weapon The slider also looks more refined, now more of a true hard gyro shape With this kind of stuff, he’s a potential high-leverage arm

Brandon Sproat has made some exciting changes in Triple-A, resulting in 18 straight scoreless innings since his 6/28 start. 🧵 It’s all about complementary pitches & attacking lefties:

Jimenez crushes fastballs (.416 AVG / .708 SLG) with just a 13% whiff rate, no issues with velo or ride Struggles more vs. righty breakers (.203 AVG / .391 SLG) and will chase changeups Historically stronger vs. LHP EV's and hard hit rates are above average

Newest Met ⬇️

What stands out to me with Voit is the low whiff rates on FB's, pitchers counts, and overall He has plus arm strength and speed but average fielding overall, I wonder if his future is at 3B or corner OF (I highly doubt he'll pitch in pro ball, his stuff is not very good)

.

Met's pick Peyton Prescott (FSU) up to 100.1 Needs TJ but with be a fun (likely reliever) dev project Lower Release short arm action, has a hard slider with an inconsistent shape and depthy splitter

Fun potential MLB reliever here

Tilly tops out at 97 with a really unique splitter and mixes in a sweeper Good whiff rates all around and he has the makings of a starters arsenal
