According to our affiliated site Metsmerized Online, Mets outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra had season-ending shoulder surgery on his right arm.

The long alluded to and hushed injury has had a direct impact on the right fielder’s power outage and prevented him from taking the field in all but 13 games this season.

The injury has certainly affected Becerra’s power as he’s hit only one home run in 247 at-bats this year, after hitting nine in 449 at-bats last season in a great pitcher’s park. His .312 batting average is a career high and second to his league leading teammate Tomas Nido in the Florida State League.

He was also named a midseason Florida State League All-Star and flirted with .400 for some time as he led all of baseball with his batting average.

Becerra was ranked as the Mets #7 prospect according to Baseball America’s Top 10 midseason update. He was of course the final piece of the R.A. Dickey trade in which the Mets also got Noah Syndergaard, Travis d’Arnaud and John Buck.
