Tell me if you’ve heard this before – Desmond Lindsay, former 2nd round pick (the Mets top pick that year), is off to a dismal start in Advance A. The outfielder has only 10 hits in his first 15 games and…
Last night was a really good night for the Columbia Fireflies. The team collected 17 hits in a 12 to 5 romp over the Lexington Legends and leading off for the Fireflies was Ronny Mauricio, who finished 4 for 6…
The Mets shocked a number of people in 2018 when they skipped their top international prospect directly to the Gulf Coast League. Now the Mets buck convention farther by starting Ronny Mauricio in Columbia instead of Short Season ball in…

If you look at the Mets options at first base the 2018 stats tell the story of a few different types of players but Peter Alonso’s stats jump out to fans. Yet, let’s look at several options in the Mets…
