Laura Albanese Newsday: 4 under-the-radar Mets prospects standing out in spring training. Laura mentions Relief Pitcher Ryan Lambert, Starting Pitcher Jack Wenninger, C/LF/1B Chris Suero and A.J. Ewing who she says: "Baseball America notes his line-drive approach to all fields, something he tweaked in his mechanics last year. It means he doesn’t hit for as much power as he otherwise would but strikes out far less. “His instincts and decision-making stand out,” the scouting report reads, and his .401 on-base percentage was the best in the Mets’ farm system last year for a player with at least 300 at-bats."
New York Mets News, Scores, Stats & Standings | New York Post
- Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing start together in outfield for glimpse into Mets future "Ewing, who also rates among the organization’s top prospects, delivered a two-run single against lefty Ryan Weathers...Benge started in center just to receive a taste of the position in camp, according to Mendoza, with Luis Robert Jr. scheduled for his first Grapefruit League game in a Mets uniform on Thursday. "
- Jonathan Pintaro impressively works way out of trouble in Mets’ spring rout of Yankees "The right-hander allowed three hits and two walks over that stretch, but recorded three strikeouts to escape trouble."
- Freddy Peralta bringing new dynamic to Mets clubhouse as chemistry with Francisco Alvarez grows "Already together in camp with Peralta for over a month, Alvarez has come to appreciate the energy the pitcher has brought to the clubhouse. 'He’s a great teammate,' Alvarez said. 'He’s always happy. He brings a lot of energy and he’s going to be big for us.' "
- Whatever the sport, Peralta 'brings the joy' -- and usually wins
- 36-year-old former Met Tejada is making most of his Classic chances with Panama In Sunday's Game Ruben Tejada "looped a single up the middle on a 3-2 offering that brought in the tying run, and an errant throw by James Paxton on a relay allowed another run to score, giving Panama the lead" Panama held on to win 4-3.
New York Daily News' Mets News
- Abbey Mastracco: Mets’ Freddy Peralta bringing good vibes to clubhouse with stars in WBC: ‘I’m just myself every day’ "The 30-year-old Peralta always seems to be in a good mood. His reputation preceded him well before the Mets acquired him from the Milwaukee Brewers in January, and he’s lived up to it since reporting to his new team. With Peralta around, things are light and loose, even on days when he’s pitching."
