Ranking the 4 best Mets position players to call-up on September 1

1) Luisangel Acuña

Former top 100 prospect and current Mets number 12 prospect Luisangel Acuña has seen his value decline due to low offensive production in the minors. During a nearly full season in Triple-A, Acuña has an OPS below .700 with low power and a dismal OBP hovering around .300.

However, the brother of the Atlanta Braves superstar has a top prospect pedigree, with high contact ability, superior speed on the bases, occasional power, and high defensive versatility. These aspects come to light when deciding on a bench position like the one the Mets need as soon as the MLB roster expands to 28 players.

The Mets manager himself described the profile of the player they would be considering for the position as "A lot. Versatility, speed." Acuña meets both conditions thanks to a speed in the 60th grade on the 20-80 scale according to scouts, demonstrated in his current production where he is on his way to achieving his fourth consecutive season with more than 40 stolen bases in the minors.

Likewise, Acuña has offensive versatility, being able to cover shortstop, second base, and outfield above the league average in defensive metrics. Likewise, despite having a low OBP Acuña maintains a low level of strikeout percentage which guarantees a greater propensity to put the ball in play, which together with his speed are factors that benefit him despite his high level of ground balls. The decision seems like a no-brainer here.
