Jonah Tong, Jett Williams lead group of top Mets prospect promoted to Triple-A
NY Post
One of the top Mets pitching prospects and three position players are being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse, The Post’s Mike Puma confirmed.
Right-hander Jonah Tong — the No. 2 Mets prospect according to MLB Pipeline — is headed up after an impressive stint this year with Double-A Binghamton, while the organization’s No. 1 prospect, Jett Williams, will also join him in Syracuse.
Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford are also being called up to Syracuse and the Mets are promoting A.J. Ewing from High-A to Double-A.
The Mets do not currently plan to promote anyone from Syracuse to Queens, an industry source told Puma.
Tong has looked good in his 19 starts this season in Double-A, in which he’s posted a 1.58 ERA with 154 strikeouts.
Speaking with The Post last week, Tong said he wasn’t getting caught up in when he’d get called up.
