The buzz around A.J. Ewing is getting louder, and for good reason. The Mets' top prospect is off to a blistering start in Triple-A, and Thursday's doubleheader was his latest showcase.
In Game 1 against the IronPigs, Ewing went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, stealing his first base at the Triple-A level and flashing the leather with a pair of highlight-reel catches in the outfield. He didn't slow down in the nightcap, adding two more hits and another run to finish the day a combined 4-for-8.
Since earning his promotion to Syracuse, Ewing's bat has been on fire. Through his first three games, he's 7-for-12—a sizzling .583 average. When you add in his Double-A numbers, the picture becomes even more impressive: over 21 games across two levels, Ewing is slashing .387/.500/.613 with a 1.113 OPS, two home runs, seven doubles, nine RBIs, and 13 stolen bases.
From diving catches to consistent contact, Ewing is proving he's not just a hot streak—he's a rising star. And for Mets fans, that's a name worth watching every night.
