Tidwell dealt with injury during a disappointing final season at Tennessee and fell to the Mets in the second round in 2023, signing a $1.85 million bonus. He made 25 starts over 116 innings in his full-season debut last year. Tidwell showed swing-and-miss stuff, striking out 31.4% of batters he faced while limiting damage with a .208 opponent batting average. He was assigned to Double-A Binghamton out of camp this year. After seven strong appearances, Tidwell earned the promotion to Triple-A. Now knocking on the door of the major leagues, Tidwell looks poised to join the Mets rotation this summer. He has midrotation upside as a power pitcher with swing-and-miss stuff but some command woes.
Brandon Sproat, RHP, Mets (No. 97)
The Mets were determined to land Sproat, even after failing to sign him as a third-rounder in 2022. They went back to the well in the second round of last July’s draft and landed Sproat No. 56 overall, signing him to a bonus of $1.475 million. Shutdown after signing, Sproat debuted in 2024 and is among a core of talented Mets pitching prospects dominating the minor leagues. Sproat has good velocity across his pitch mix led by two fastball shapes sitting 94-96 mph. He pairs his fastball shapes with a cutter-slider, a changeup and a curveball. He shows the ability to mix shapes and control hard contact while driving whiffs. Sproat lacks top-of-the-rotation upside but he looks like a safe rotation piece. He could slot into the middle of the Mets’ staff for years to come.
@NYPost_Mets
As Mets near decision between Luis Torrens and Tomas Nido - and the fact Nido didn't start a game in London was telling - it should be noted that Nido if DFA'd now has enough service time that he can refuse an outright to AAA and become a free agent w/o forfeiting his salary.

Tomas Nido
@tnido24
Thank you, @mets
🫶! 12 years, it was a good run! Wishing the guys nothing but the best!
Schedule to pitch 6/14 per Mike Mayer. So clearly they are trying to maneuver his innings. 12 days between starts is obviously uncommon.
J. Diaz 2.2 innings 6 hits 6 runs 3 bb 2 k's (FB topped off at 94), Baez 2-4, BB, K, Hernandez 2-5,Houck 2-5, HR,Baro 1-2, 2 BB, Ewing 1-4, BB, K, Rosa 0-4, 3 k #Mets
The opposite of Ryan Clifford's June is Luisangel Acuna. 8 games .171/.237/.229, 35 ab's, 11 k's, 1 extra base hit
@AlbaneseLaura
Kodai Senga threw a bullpen Sunday, will throw another tomorrow. Did long toss today. He'll continue his progression but Mendoza is pleased that he's getting on the mound.
i know they mentioned 2b, but how about we give the man some more LF reps! marte has been a lot better vs lefties than righties, there is a part time role baty can play while probably improving the OF defense by moving marte to bench more often.

Morabito has not shown much pop at Brooklyn, but he has gotten on base.
LHP Felipe De La Cruz has a 2.89 era/3.08 FIP with 11.13 k/9 in 2024 and that's with a .336 BABIP against #Mets
Quote:
The most obvious @mets minor leaguer due a promotion is probably 3b/1b Nick Lorusso. Lorusso (24 in September) has a 136 wRC+ with a 13.3% BB, and 19.5% K% #Mets
Morabito has not shown much pop at Brooklyn, but he has gotten on base.
Prospect writer I spoke to last week called Morabito an extra OFer type. 60-70 speed, good eye, solid in the OF, "one level" swing, maxed out physically.
What does his FB usually carry at?
Quote:
Christian Scott strikes out the lead-off hitter, then allows a single and a ground out. FB has maxed out at 95.4 @SyracuseMets #Mets
What does his FB usually carry at?
As a big leaguer his average 4-seam velocity has been 94.3. I wasn't pointing out his velocity for any other reason than there is statcast data for the start, many minor league games don't have it.
