Episode Details

The New York Mets are accelerating their top prospect, Elian Pena, by sending him directly to Single-A ball. The seventeen-year-old, who signed for a record bonus, impressed in the Dominican Summer League, batting .292 with a .949 OPS, hitting nine homers, thirteen doubles, driving in thirty-three runs, scoring forty-seven, and stealing twenty-one bases. The Mets aim to replicate the success of stars like Jesus Made and Leo De Vries, who skipped levels early and climbed the ranks quickly. Penas performance in Single-A will determine if he joins the big league conversation soon.
