MLB Pipeline announced their 2016 Mets Pitching and Hitting Prospect of the Year naming P.J. Conlon the pitching prospect of the year and Amed Rosario the hitting prospect of the year.  Earlier in the offseason Mets Minors also named Conlon the Pitcher of the Year and Rosario the Position Player of the Year.

Conlon made 24 starts and one relief appearance pitching 142.0 innings. Colon would finish the year with a 12-2 record with a 1.65 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and a 4.67 K/BB ratio. Conlon would be named the Sally League June 5, 2016 Pitcher of the Week as well as a Mid-Season All Star.

Conlon’s combined 1.65 ERA was the best ERA at any level of professional baseball for qualified starters.  In the Mets minor league system, Conlon would finish first in WHIP and K/BB ratio.  He would also finish second in wins.

Rosario hit .324/.374/.459 with 24 doubles, 13 triples, five homers, and 71 RBI.  Each and every one of those statistics was a career best for Rosario.  In the Mets minor league system, Rosario was the leader in hits and triples.  He also ranked in the Top 10 in batting average, OBP, slugging, OPS, and total bases.

Last year, MLB Pipeline selected Steven Matz as the Pitcher of the Year and Michael Conforto as the hitter of the year.
