The Mets’ minor league teams had a mixed bag of results on May 14. Mike Brosseau stood out with an impressive three-home-run game, leading Syracuse to a narrow victory over Iowa. Binghamton's Rowdey Jordan also shined with a solo homer in a shutout win, while David Peterson showed readiness to rejoin the Mets with a dominant rehab outing. However, St. Lucie and the FCL Mets both suffered losses despite some bright spots.

By the Numbers
  • Syracuse Mets record: 23-15
  • Brosseau stat line: 3-3, 3 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB
  • David Peterson's rehab start: 5.1 IP, 0 ER, 8 K
Yes, But

Despite strong individual performances, other players struggled significantly, such as Jeffry Rosa's four strikeouts for St. Lucie and Wilson Esterlin, who allowed five earned runs in just 1.2 innings for the FCL Mets. These missteps highlight ongoing challenges within the organization.

State of Play
  • Triple-A Syracuse benefited from Brosseau's power, keeping them competitive in their division.
  • Double-A Binghamton relying on Peterson's effective rehab stints to remain competitive.
  • St. Lucie and FCL Mets needing to address pitching woes for future success.
What's Next

Peterson is expected to rejoin the Mets' major league squad soon, providing much-needed depth to their rotation. Monitoring Brosseau's performance at Triple-A could lead to discussions about a possible call-up if his hitting streak continues.

Bottom Line

While individual standout performances offer hope, the Mets' minor league system is a mix of highlights and ongoing struggles. Addressing the inconsistencies could pave the way for essential contributions to the major league team.
