When fans and analysts talk about the New York Mets' farm system, the first thing they bring up is all the young pitchers they have. According to MLB Pipeline, there are three pitchers inside the Mets' top five prospects. If everything goes right, they'll no longer have to rely on free-agent reclamation projects to fill out their rotation. Instead, they can rely on their minor league system to produce their starters.
However, with the struggles the rotation has had in 2025, many have called for the Mets to call up one of these starters, especially after they failed to acquire one at the trade deadline.
