Here is what you need to know from Wednesday’s minor league action in the Mets system: A four-hit day for Jacob Reimer could hopefully be the start of an offensive breakout. Reimer is the No. 5 ranked Mets prospect on MLB Pipeline and is hopefully trending in the right direction. Elsewhere, Will Watson punched out six batters in his start on Wednesday and showed a little better control while walking just one batter. Elian Peña drew two more walks as he continues to show an impressive approach at the plate and maintains an OPS of .894 so far.
Triple-A

Brandon Waddell gave up three runs over his three innings of work today for the Sy-Mets, and he was followed up by three scoreless innings from Jonathan Pintaro. A.J. Minter allowed a run in an inning of relief as he continues to build up towards his return to the MLB team.

Ronny Mauricio went without a hit after his massive performance the day before, but he will be on his way up to the MLB squad by tomorrow. The big swing on the offensive side came from Jackson Cluff, who slugged a home run in the 6th.
Double-A
Erie SeaWolves (6-11) 8, Binghamton Rumble Ponies (6-10), 1
- RHP Will Watson: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 1 BB, 4 ER, 6 K (4.96 ERA)
- LHP Felipe De La Cruz: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 1 ER, K (3.38 ERA)
Will Watson took the mound for the Rumble Ponies and struck out six batters before being pulled in the sixth inning. E.J. Exposito took him deep with two outs in the 2nd inning for the biggest blemish on his day. Zach Peek also gave up three runs in his inning of work.
- 3B Jacob Reimer: 4-4, 2B, R
- LF Eli Serrano III: 1-3, 2B, RBI, BB. K
Jacob Reimer did have a great day, however, with four hits on the day, including a double. Eli Serrano III drove in the only run on the day for the Rumble Ponies.
High-A

Kyle West took Bryce Jenkins deep in the bottom of the ninth as the Cyclones suffered a walk-off loss to the Renegades on Wednesday. Noah Hall started the game for the Cyclones and struggled with his command, walking four batters in three innings of work. His defense did him no favors, either, as he was charged with three runs in total, with two of them earned.
