Round 1: Mitch Voit. The infielder from the University of Michigan is playing for the Brooklyn Cyclones. For the Cyclones, he’s player 16 games at second base and 52 at shortstop. In those 68 games, he’s hitting .240 with a .351 OBP and .408 SLG. He’s also shown savvy on the base path, stealing 31 bases. As of July 17, Voit tied two others for the third-most steals, seven behind the league leader. No other Cyclone has more than 20.

Round 2: None

Round 3: Antonio Jimenez. An infielder from the University of Central Florida started the season in Brooklyn but is back with St. Lucie. He’s hitting better, .237 in Florida versus only .124 with the Cyclones, but nowhere near the .329/.407/.575 slash line he had at UCF.

Round 4: Peter Kussow. The Mets drafted the 6-foot-5 right-hander out of high school, but he’s yet to play for a Mets’ team because of labrum surgery on his pitching arm. In his senior year at Arrowhead High School, he was the top prospect in Wisconsin and had committed to Louisville, his fastball peaking at 97 mph. That season, he threw a no-hitter, striking out 16 batters.

Round 5: Peyton Prescott. The Florida State University right-hander also has yet to pitch for the Mets, Tommy John surgery sidelining him. In his sole year at FSU he had a 5-0 record despite a 5.15 ERA. In 36.2 innings, he struck out out 46 while walking only 17.

Round 6: Nathan Hall. The right-handed pitcher from the University of Central Missouri had to rehab from UCL internal brace surgery in 2025 before he could step on the mound for the FCL Mets on June 18, 2026. Since then, he has appeared in five games. In the first three he pitched an inning in each. In his last two, he pitched two innings in each. In all five, he has given up three hits but has yet to allow a runner to cross the plate. The team is giving him 6-7 days rest between starts.
