The Mets are finally letting the kids play at the big-league level, and it’s yielded good results so far. And when I say “the kids”, I’m referring to Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos. Ronny Mauricio is still waiting for his opportunity by hitting rockets on a nightly basis in Triple-A.
But are there any other players in the Mets’ system off to a good start at the plate? As it turns out, there is. Outfield prospect Matt Rudick ranks among the top five in the Eastern League for Double-A Binghamton in various offensive categories.
