Why the Mets shouldn’t rush to call up prospect Anthony Kay
New York Mets prospect Anthony Kay has had an excellent start to the season in Double-A Binghamton. Though he could potentially see big league action this year, the team needs to be cautious about promoting him too soon.
For those who are unaware, Anthony Kay is a 24-year-old, left-handed pitching prospect who is currently playing with the New York Mets Double-A Binghamton team known to the locals as the Rumble Ponies.
A Long Island native, he was originally drafted by the Mets in the first round with the 31st overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft, however, he underwent Tommy John surgery immediately following the draft and did not pitch in New York’s minor league system until the 2018 season.
