Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
Mark Vientos just had a signature moment, so we discuss some other signature home runs from ahem marginal Mets 1B prospects of years past. For whatever reason, that Mike Jacobs debut home run still sticks in all of our memories, even 15 years on.
For draft updates, Carson Benge is pulling away from the rest of the field in our eyes, especially after a five-homer week. The most recent BA mock draft has him going to the Mets at 19, a result we’d all be extremely pleased with.
