## Resource

The Mets’ top prospects are showing a mix of promise and struggle as the minor league season hits month two. Nolan McLean’s early ace potential dipped in May, but the organization remains confident in his future. Carson Benge has surged into elite form, rivaling Juan Soto. Jonah Tong’s inconsistency led to bullpen stints, while A.J. Ewing’s batting average has fallen. Jacob Reimer is slowly warming up, Ryan Clifford’s power is up but his walks are down, and Will Watson’s rough start landed him on the IL. Jack Wenninger remains steady with a low ERA, Jonathan Santucci improved dramatically in May. Elian Peña cooled off but still draws walks, Zach Thornton’s Triple-A promotion included a shaky MLB debut. Nick Morabito’s call-up didn’t pan out offensively. Chris Suero needs better ball elevation, Dylan Ross is struggling post-injury, Ryan Lambert’s control and strikeouts make him a bullpen candidate, and Antonio Jimenez bounced back slightly after a developmental stint.
