The New York Mets had a rough season in public relations, but there were amazing performances in the farm system.

As part of our continuing coverage at Call to the Pen of the minor leagues, we will be covering each organization’s top players for 2018. The coverage will go in reverse order of record. Today, we will look at the New York Mets.

We are going to review the system’s leaders for each organization statistically, then choose one hitter and one pitcher to honor for every team. This will be primarily based on statistical performance, though some “age relative to level” could come into play, so a very impressive season from a 28-year-old in AA will rank below a nearly as impressive season from a 20-year-old at the same level.

After we review each organization’s hitter and pitcher of the year, we will close out October with Call To The Pen’s Minor League team of the year. That will lead into November starting our team top 10 prospect lists. In other words, there will be plenty of minor league content on the way at CTTP, so keep coming back for more each day this offseason!!

New York Mets minor leagues

The New York Mets have plenty of talented players beyond a former NFL quarterback that happens to be in their minor league system. The system had a player compete for the minor league home run title along with many excellent performances overall.

Right now, the strength of the New York Mets farm system is in their lower levels, so they may be a few years out, but the depth of talent at that level is incredible!
