The Mets are using this year's AFL assignments to give pitchers innings and batters at-bats. Seven of the eight Mets Prospects heading to Arizona have all spent significant time on the Injured List in 2026.
Infielder Bruin Agbayani, acquired with Billy Amick from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for LHP A.J. Minter at the 2026 Trade Deadline, played in just 13 games in 2026 after playing just 5 games in 2025. The son of former Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani, Bruin missed time in 2026 with a right thumb strain and a right shoulder strain.
Baseball America: "Agbayani, 19, was the 2025 Gatorade Player of the Year in Hawaii...At the time, he ranked as the No. 405 prospect in the draft on the strength of a well-rounded offensive profile and a chance to stick in the infield..."
MLB Pipeline ranks him as the 29th prospect in the Mets system. "Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 45 | Field: 45 | Overall: 40...Agbayani likes to use his above-average speed on the basepaths, but few think he has the ability to stay at shortstop -- his high school position -- not only because of a lack of range, but also because he doesn’t possess the actions or hands for the premium spot. He’ll still get reps there, but his best chance of staying on the dirt will likely be second base, though some amateur scouts thought an outfield corner will make the most sense long-term."
