The Mets have several top ranked prospects at big-league camp this spring, some hitters who could make their debut this year.
The No. 1 position player prospect has a legitimate chance to break camp with the Mets next month and make his MLB debut at Citi Field on Opening Day. Benge isn’t the only top-ranked hitting prospect at big-league camp with the Mets, though.
There are a few more phenoms to keep an eye on over these next several weeks. Those youngsters, as Mets manager Carlos Mendoza put it on Wednesday, are not too far from making it to the big leagues either. “ picking their brains and asking questions and be themselves,” Mendoza said. “They need to have fun and learn as much as possible, but also don’t be afraid to ask questions.” Here are a few nuggets on some of the highly-touted prospects not named Carson Benge at Mets camp, starting with a speedster who recently stood out on the main stage at Clover Park.Facing Mets starter Clay Holmes in a live batting practice session recently, Ewing smacked two sharp line drives. He worked a walk in another plate appearance during that session. With his speed — the lefty has a 70-grade run tool and stole a whopping 70 bases across three levels in 2025 — his ability to get on base at a high clip is even more valuable. His speed translates to the defensive side of the ball, too. “Good swing decisions and contact all over the field and hard-hit baseballs,” Mets senior vice president of player development Andy Green told NJ.com. “He can legitimately play center field. He has to own that at an elite level should be our bar for him and he should have that bar for himself. And I believe he does.” Ewing’s goal this spring, beyond churning out quality at-bats, is to introduce himself to as many big-league teammates as possible. He also wants to stay true to himself with more eyes on his play. After the year he had in 2025, positioning himself for an extended look in Triple-A this season, he’s not lacking any confidence. “Honestly, just try to just remain who I am and not put any extra pressure myself,” Ewing said. “I know I can play this game at a high level, and I’m just trying to show that.”122 G, .282/.379/.491 , 17 HR, 77 RBI, 88 R, 112 K Reimer knows that he has a reputation for being a bat-first infielder, so he’s striving to improve on his defense at third base. That’s the one part of his game that he’d like to improve upon most before the end of spring training. “I’m going to say that for the rest of my career,” Reimer said. “I always want to get better. I don’t want to just be average at defense. I want to get to a point where I’m elite. I know it takes a lot of work, and it’s going to, but just learning from the guys here, from the coaching staff here, and the new guys, even on the minor league side, I just keep getting better there.” Unlike Benge, there’s no path to the big leagues for the foreseeable future for Reimer. He was already told by the Mets that he isn’t in the big-league picture yet, which makes sense for a prospect who hasn’t played in Triple-A. To get to that point where he’s on the brink of a call-up later on in 2026, Reimer wants to be a sponge this spring, picking the brains of everyone in the Mets’ clubhouse. He also toldthis week that his primary offensive objective over this past winter was taking his bat speed to the next level, something that should lead to even more slug moving forward. “I believe in my abilities,” Reimer said. “I believe I can play in the big leagues, but I gotta prove it and I gotta prove it every single day. I’m just ready to go to work.”Speed is also the name of the game for Morabito. He stole 49 bags in 2025 with Double-A Binghamton and then racked up 16 stolen bases in just 15 games in the Arizona Fall League last year. That led to some comparisons to ex-Yankees prospect and now-Red Sox infielder “My speed is definitely one of the biggest assets of my game,” Morabito said, “and I try to take advantage of it anytime I can. Anytime I’m on the bases, I just want to score really, and just put runs on the board.” The Mets added Morabito to their 40-man roster this past offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. That means he’s one step closer to Queens. For now, Morabito is focused on showcasing all his tools this spring, building on last year’s strong campaign as he braces for his first taste of Triple-A action. “I want to show them everything that I have,” Morabito said. “Getting on base, stealing, defense. Everything that I can bring to the table, I want to show them.”is back with the Mets this spring after being invited to big-league camp for the first time last year. He has plenty of power from the left side, swatting 29 homers over 139 games between Double-A and Triple-A last season. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns announced earlier this spring that Clifford will begin the year in Triple-A. He’s a primary first baseman, but Stearns gave Clifford a shout-out for his improvements on defense — he’s “viable” in the corner outfield spots. Baseball America lists Clifford as the Mets’ No. 5 prospect. MLB Pipeline lists Clifford in the No. 6 spot within the org.started this spring with his locker in the Mets’ clubhouse next to all the catchers at camp. When the clubSuero, a Bronx native, reached Double-A last season, but his numbers offensively dipped compared to his High-A production in Brooklyn. There’s upside offensively here with the pop in Suero’s swing — he cracked 16 homers in 115 games between High-A and Double-A a year ago. He’s versatile on defense, playing catcher , first base and left field.-- Asked broadly about this group of position player prospects behind Benge in the Mets’ organization, Green said that while each phenom has work to do, they all have “the capacity to be impactful players for us” down the road. “I think we’re excited about where they come from and how much they’ve improved,” he said. “If you look at the change in numbers for guys like Ryan or A.J., it’s been pretty profound growth over the last couple years. So I think we’re excited about that, but we know there’s a lot more out in front of them.”Max Goodman is the New York Mets beat reporter for NJ Advance Media at NJ.com.
