2) Christopher Suero

Many Mets position players have started off slowly this year both in the majors and minors. Christopher Suero is an exception. Born behind enemy lines in The Bronx, this catcher/first baseman/left fielder is someone the Mets are already looking to move out from behind the plate and find a position for.

The 20-year-old has been with the organization since 2022 when he batted just .204 in the Dominican Summer League. Suero followed it up with a .281 batting average in the Florida Complex League last year. Now with St. Lucie, he’s off to another fine start. Less games behind the plate might allow him to sustain this success.

After 25 games and 100 plate appearances, Suero finds himself batting .265/.390/.434 with a pair of home runs and 6 doubles. He has driven in 15 and stolen 5 bases in 10 attempts. The performance has gotten this undrafted free agent from March of 2022 promoted to join Tong in Brooklyn.

If you think Suero going undrafted and putting up these numbers is good, there’s another player who found his way to the Mets without getting picked up in the draft off to a hot start.
