3 under the radar Mets prospects whose names you should know

You know Gilbert, and Williams, and Sproat, and Clifford. Vasil, and Tidwell, and Vargas, and Acuna. But do you recall, these under the radar New York Mets prospects at all? Probably not.

Every year features Mets prospects who either fade out of the picture or enter without much fanfare. Guys can come from out of nowhere only to piece together an awesome campaign that makes their names as familiar as any in the farm system.

While not quite top level prospects, these three in the Mets system are names to keep a close eye on.

1) Wilkin Ramos

Wilkin Ramos is a 23-year-old righty reliever whose path to the Mets system was a unique one. Picked up off of minor league waivers in December 2022, he put together a strong showing in 2023 down in Brooklyn and then Binghamton. He’d finish the year pitching to a 2.50 ERA in 57.2 innings of relief work.

Ramos showed the Mets were correct to consider him. He gave the Rumble Ponies a 1.95 ERA performance in 27.2 innings of work this year. Fanning batters at a rate of 8.1 per 9 and walking them at a rate of 2.9 per 9, he showed off a mastery of the strike zone.

Ramos has been with Syracuse for a while now and things have slowed down as they seem to do for any Mets pitcher. His 6.14 ERA through 14.2 innings is a stop signal. He has walked 14 batters already. A contagion for big league Mets pitchers this year, it’s something for Ramos to improve upon to remain relevant in the system.
