As the calendar flips to May, the Mets' minor league system continues to produce standout performances. Our Minor League Players of the Week for Week Six (April 28th to May 3rd) showcase the depth of talent rising through the ranks, and no one shined brighter than A.J. Ewing.

For the third time this season—and second week in a row—Ewing earns the top honors. What makes this week particularly special is that it marks his first taste of Triple-A action, and the versatile infielder/outfielder didn't miss a beat after his promotion from Double-A Binghamton.

Ewing's stat line for the week is nothing short of spectacular: 11 hits in 26 at-bats, good for a .500 batting average and a .560 on-base percentage. He added a double, a triple, and stole four bases without being caught, while striking out just twice in 29 plate appearances. His .636 slugging percentage underscores the quality of contact he's making at the highest level of the minors.

Now that Ewing is in Triple-A Syracuse, we have concrete Statcast data to back up the eye test. Through 20 batted ball events, he's averaging a 92.4 MPH exit velocity, with a top mark of 108.8 MPH and an average launch angle of 12 degrees. Roughly one-third of his batted balls have left the bat at over 100 MPH, and exactly half have been hit at 95 MPH or harder—numbers that would make any major league scout take notice.

Perhaps the most intriguing development is how Ewing's approach has evolved since his promotion. In his first week at Syracuse, he posted a 29.4% line drive rate, 35.3% groundball rate, and 35.3% flyball rate. Notably, he's been spraying the ball to all fields: 23.5% to the pull side, 29.4% up the middle, and an impressive 47.1% to the opposite field.

This marks a significant shift from his time in Binghamton earlier in April, where he was more pull-heavy (46.9%) and posted a much higher groundball rate (55.1%). While both samples are small, looking back at his 2025 campaign across Single-A, High-A, and Double-A, his Binghamton numbers may be the better indicator of the hitter he'll become as the sample sizes grow. Either way, Ewing is proving he can adapt and thrive at every level, making him a name to watch closely as the season progresses.
