PRESS RELEASE: METS SIGN 26 INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS



 

FLUSHING, N.Y., January 16, 2026 – The New York Mets today announced that the club has signed 26 international players.

"Today marks an exciting milestone as we welcome our newest international signees into the Mets family," said Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns. "These players and their families have devoted years of effort to reach this moment, and we're proud to be part of the next chapter of their careers. Our organization is committed to providing the resources and guidance they need as they work toward the Major Leagues. Building a winning culture requires long-term vision, and developing young talent will always be a cornerstone of that commitment. I also want to thank our international scouting group for their efforts in making this day happen. Our scouts around the world work tirelessly to bring the most talented players into the organization. Today would be impossible without their unending dedication to their craft."

"Today is a meaningful day for the New York Mets as we welcome a new class of talented players into the organization," said Director of International Scouting James Kang. "This moment signifies the beginning of their professional careers, and we thank our baseball operations staff and the families of these young men for their contributions throughout the process." 

The class is highlighted by Wandy Asigen, a 16-year-old shortstop from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The 6 foot, 180-pounder is ranked as the second-best international prospect according to  MLB Pipeline's Top 50 International Prospects List
