Four words describe Brandon Sproat’s “Road to the Show": perseverance and never giving up. After being drafted at No. 56 overall by the Mets in the second round of the 2023 MLB draft, the former Gator chomped through Single-A and Double-A hitters and found himself facing Triple-A level bats less than one year into his professional career. That’s when things got more challenging. He struggled to get strikeouts, and his ERA climbed over 7.53 through seven starts.
The start of the 2025 season followed suit and his early season struggles led to Sproat being knocked off of MLB’s Top 100 prospect list.
