The Mets filled the top levels of their farm system with former Major Leaguers, and by and large, those players produced. Of course they were also aided at the Triple-A level with a change in the new ball which led to the average game having an extra run scored per game and an increase of nearly a thousand homers than what the International League saw last season.

As noted above, the Mets signed a number of Major League veterans, so it should not surprise anyone they dominated the leaderboards. What may come as a disappointment was how infrequently we saw names like Gimenez, Mauricio, and Vientos. On that front, it should be noted each of these prospects were young for their levels, and this is just one step in their progress towards their hopefully one day becoming Major League players for the Mets.

The most pleasant surprise of the season proved to be Haggerty. The proverbial other player in the Kevin Plawecki trade with the Indians, Haggerty impressed being named an Eastern League All-Star. His skill set as a fast runner, versatile good defensive infielder, and ability to get on base led to his promotion late in the season where he has already scored two runs as a pinch runner.
