The Mets prospects have put up some tremendous offensive numbers so far this season with a few standouts having one of the best starts of their minor league careers. 

Allan Dykstra, has been short of amazing. He just continues to hit and produce and if Lucas Duda happens to falter at all, the Mets have to pull the trigger and give Dykstra his opportunity to shine on the big club.  Only an injury kept him from showcasing his skills at the big league camp. But he is proving that the 2013 Eastern League MVP, was not a fluke, and that is evident by how he is tearing through Triple A pitchers this season. And it doesn’t look like he is going to cool off any time soon. Dykstra leads the organization with a .417 batting average, .548 OBP and .792 Slug.  He also is in the top five in home runs and RBI’s. 

T.J. Rivera, the reigning Florida State League hits champion is at it again, and he has basically picked up where he left off, by putting the ball in play and producing key hits to lead a potent St. Lucie offense. Rivera, who leads the organization with 21 RBI’s and second in hits with 29, is also in the top five in batting average, home runs and slugging. It’s obvious that he should have been moved up to Double A for the 2014 season, but if he continues to hit, the Mets will need to do the right thing and reward the hits champion with a promotion.

Eric Campbell, is starting to prove that he may be ready to make the jump to the big club a lot sooner than most have even thought.  Soup, as he is known as, leads the organization in hits with 30, third in home runs with three, second in RBI’s with 20, fourth with a .449 OBP and fifth with a .560 Slug. He, along with Dykstra and a surging Zach Lutz are helping the 51’s to a great season so far in the Pacific Coast League.

Matt Clark, who the Mets signed in the off season, has been the most consistent hitter aside of the surging Matt Reynolds, for Binghamton this season. He leads the organization with five home runs, and is in the top five in batting average, OBP and Slug. He currently has hit safely in nine out of the last 10 games, which included his organization leading fifth home run on Thursday night.
