NY Mets prospects with a chance to repeat the same MLB path as these current rookies

Why aren’t New York Mets fans so glum? It’s September and the games don’t matter in the standings nearly as much as they should. A big reason are the rookies. The Mets have asked a lot of newcomers to the majors to get them through the year.

Young talent always keeps fans interested in a lost year. And after a trade deadline sell-off, it definitely feels like more is on the way. In 2027, we can expect these Mets prospects to potentially follow the same path to MLB as some of the current rookies who played their first big league game in 2026.

Will any of these Mets prospects follow the same path to the majors?

1) The Carson Benge path - Emilien Pitre

It’s a pretty big longshot we see Emilien Pitre actually make the Mets roster out of camp. However, the opportunity is feasible with a strong showing in the spring as well as some injuries. Pitre has played multiple infield positions and with a reputation as a strong defender and good bat-on-ball skills, it’s not completely outrageous for him to somehow make the Opening Day roster.

Carson Benge had the rare distinction of making the Mets roster with minimal AAA experience the year prior. Pitre could conceivably make the Mets if Marcus Semien, Bo Bichette, or Brett Baty experience a preseason injury. Pitre hit .335 in Double-A and while the numbers have tailed off in Triple-A, he is a .260/.339/.400 hitter through 58 plate appearances.

2) The A.J. Ewing path - Mitch Voit

A.J. Ewing had an excellent 2025 season and started off 2026 just as strong. If anything, we figured he might get some sips of MLB coffee late in the season. Instead, he was up earlier than expected and became one of the more popular and impactful rookies in recent memory. He has things to work on. However, his exciting play led by excellent defense and base running abilities should have us thrilled with what lies ahead.

Following the Ewing path could be Mitch Voit. He started off the 2026 slowly, but has been dominating in Double-A after a strong finish in A-Ball. Another infielder who has logged a lot of time at shortstop this year, Voit seems to fit in as the clear next psychopath alongside Benge and Ewing. Exactly where he fits in on the infield is the question as the Mets are suddenly loaded with young talent all across the dirt. Through his first 122 trips to the plate in Double-A, Voit is slashing .356/.446/.548. He has also stolen a ridiculous 43 bases across all levels.

3) The Zac Thornton path - Gabe Davis

Zac Thornton is establishing himself as a reasonable option in the rotation next year. He was buried a bit on the prospect depth chart, not much different than Gabe Davis. One of the pitchers acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the Huascar Brazoban trade, Davis storming up to the majors next year is very much in the team’s plans.

In only his first professional season, Davis has a 5.15 ERA overall and even better 2.70 ERA performance with Double-A Binghamton. His major league arrival by mid-2027 would be ahead of schedule yet not totally unrealistic if he’s red hot and the club needs the arm.
