Who’s Hot
Dilson Herrera – Las Vegas 51s
Over his last nine games the talented second baseman has hit .389/.421/.806 with his first four home runs of the season and eight runs batted in. Seems like Dilson is finally 100% healthy after a sore shoulder plagued him to start the season. The offensive outburst has raised his season slash line to .301/.327/.515 in 27 games.
Wuilmer Becerra – St. Lucie Mets
At this point you would be shocked if the outfielder didn’t make this list after what has been unbelievable start to his St. Lucie career. All he’s done over his last ten games is go 20 for 39 with eight multi-hit games. He is now hitting .415 on the season which trails only fellow Met minor league Ty Kelly in all of baseball.
Kevin Taylor – St. Lucie Mets

Amed Rosario – St. Lucie Mets
Another guy who seems to be on this every single week and this time there is a very positive development at the dish to talk about. He has struck out only two times in his last ten games and walked six times in that stretch. He also has 13 hits and seven runs batter in over his last eight games.
Phillip Evans – Binghamton Mets
Making his first appearance on the hot side after being mentioned numerous times below the infielder has finally heated up. After start his B-Mets career in a 1 for 14 slump, he has gone 7 for 16 with two doubles and three runs in his last six games.
Who’s Not
John Mora – St. Lucie Mets
It has been a season long struggle for the left-handed hitting outfielder who has just a .615 OPS for the season. Despite knocking in five runs over his last seven games he has gone 4 for 25 in that span (.160/.241/.200) with a double for his lone extra base hit.
L.J. Mazzilli – Binghamton Mets
Another Mets prospect that has struggled the entire year (.591 OPS in 28 games) but has been even colder as of late. During his last 11 games he is only 6 for 35 with only one extra base hit (double) and has now gone 118 straight minor league games without a home run.
Matt Reynolds – Las Vegas 51s
The infielder is going through a brutal 10-game stretch in which he has gone 6 for 40 with 15 strikeouts and just one walk. His season slash line is now down to .246/.306/.377 and he has struck out 32 times in 29 games.
Vicente Lupo – Columbia Fireflies
The playing time has been limited for the 22-year old outfielder and he hasn’t made a case for anymore in the near future with a .592 season OPS. In his last seven games he has more strikeouts (13) than he does hits (4) and is hitting .174 overall for the season.
Xorge Carrillo – Binghamton Mets
Returning to the Eastern League has not been kind to Carrillo who has found himself losing playing time to Colton Plaia. He is 7 for 39 (.179/.200/.256) with eight strikeouts in his last ten games and has walked only once all season in 69 plate appearances.
Taylor like Smoker last off season needs to be added to the 40 this year since he was a minor league FA?
Not 100% sure but that is my assumption, no way the Mets do that though unless he comes up to Bingo and does very well.
Yeah I don’t expect it either. Too many others to add.
I checked TPG and he isn’t listed.
I don’t think he had Smoker listed last year though.
