Christian Scott impressed in his return from Tommy John Surgery
Heading into the 2026 season, all eyes were focused squarely on Nolan McLean as the Mets’ best young arm with the brightest future. Following his brief but eye-catching stint with the club in 2025, he was seen as the de facto future ace of the rotation and the team’s top pitching prospect. Furthermore, Jonah Tong had rocketed up the prospect rankings and debuted himself in 2025, and names like Jack Wenninger, Jonathan Santucci, and Zac Thornton had Mets fans excited about the team’s future.
