All longtime prospects eventually retire or find a new home as they hope to one day make it to the major leagues. This is what happened to longtime New York Mets prospect Luke Ritter. He and his 97 home runs, 26 coming in 2024, are headed to the Los Angeles Angels on a minor league deal.
Much of Ritter’s minor league stint with the Mets included low batting average seasons with good, if not better, home run power. His 2024 campaign was so good he appeared to be a candidate for a major league promotion.
