• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Sent to minor-league camp

  Rotowire Mar 4, 2025

  Sproat was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Sproat made a good first impression, tossing a pair of clean innings while touching 99 mph in his first-ever Grapefruit League appearance last Friday. A second-round pick by the Mets in 2023, Sproat is now considered by many to be the top pitching prospect in the organization, though he struggled to a 7.85 ERA in seven starts with Triple-A Syracuse down the stretch last season. The right-hander will look to improve upon that number and earn his way onto the Mets' 40-man and 26-man rosters this summer.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Two perfect innings in spring debut

  Rotowire Feb 28, 2025

  Sproat threw two perfect innings against the Nationals on Friday in his Grapefruit League debut, striking out one batter. The 24-year-old right-hander retired all six batters he faced and reached 99 mph on a swinging strikeout of Robert Hassell. Widely considered the Mets' top pitching prospect, Sproat is knocking on the door of the rotation for a team that is already down Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) to begin the season. Sproat will almost certainly return to Triple-A Syracuse to begin the year, as he's not yet on the 40-man roster, but manager Carlos Mendoza noted after Friday's exhibition that the Mets will need arms to get through the season and Sproat is "one they will be monitoring," Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Promoted to Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 3, 2024

  The Mets promoted Sproat from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Sproat is coming off one of the best performances of his young career, striking out 13 batters -- including the final 11 he faced -- in Friday's 7-3 loss to Double-A New Hampshire. Over 11 starts with Binghamton, Sproat produced an impressive 2.45 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 77 punchouts over 62.1 innings. He'll now look to keep it up at the Triple-A level and put himself in consideration for a promotion to the Mets.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Dominant at Double-A

  Rotowire Aug 3, 2024

  Sproat threw five scoreless innings for Double-A Binghamton on Friday, allowing only two hits and striking out 13 without walking a batter. The 23-year-old put together the most dominant performance of his pro career to date, and Sproat struck out the final 11 batters he faced. As Ben Weinrib of MLB.com notes, the record for consecutive Ks in a single game at the major-league level is 10, a record shared by Aaron Nola, Corbin Burnes and Hall of Famer Tom Seaver. Sproat has struggled to maintain consistency as the weather has warmed up, but in general his first season at Double-A has been a rousing success as he's produced a 2.45 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB through 62.1 innings. Most encouragingly, he's reduced his walk rate from 5.7 BB/9 last year at High-A to a 2.2 BB/9 with Binghamton.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Surging at Double-A

  Rotowire Jun 3, 2024

  Sproat allowed just one hit and one walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out a career-high 10 for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. The 23-year-old right-hander has actually gotten better since being promoted from High-A Brooklyn in mid-May. Over four starts for Binghamton, Sproat has posted a dazzling 1.38 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB through 26 innings, and he's lasted seven innings in three straight trips to the mound. The Mets will likely keep an eye on Sproat's workload in his first pro campaign, but the 2023 second-round pick is on track to make his Triple-A debut before the end of the season, and given how little difficulty he's having dominating minor-league hitters, a late 2024 big-league debut is starting to look at least plausible, if not exactly likely.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Jumps to Double-A

  Rotowire May 13, 2024

  The Mets promoted Sproat from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton on Monday. The No. 56 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Sproat has moved quickly through the Mets' farm system less than a year into his professional career. Though he didn't make his pro debut last summer due to the heavy workload he logged in the spring during his final collegiate campaign at the University of Florida, Sproat was pushed to High-A to begin the 2024 season and passed the test with flying colors. Over his six outings (five starts) with Brooklyn, Sproat compiled a 1.07 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB in 25.1 innings.
