Open Thread: 2025 Futures Game

The 2025 Futures Game is here, with top prospects from each team coming together for a minor league All Star Game. RHP Jonah Tong and OF Carson Benge will serve as the Mets representatives on the National League side.

Both Tong and Benge have seen their stocks rise significantly in the first half. Tong, a 7th round pick in 2022 out of Georgia Premier Academy, has built on his 2024 breakout, posting an absurd 1.83 ERA through 78.2 innings (15 starts) at Double-A w/ a pristine 29.4% K-BB%. There’s an outside shot he makes the major leagues later this season to reinforce the Mets pitching staff.
