Our team at MetsMinors is going to start doing a review of the the top performances throughout the entire Mets minor league system during the 2015 season.

One of the best pitching performances all year in the Mets minor leagues came from prospect Gabriel Ynoa on July 2nd when he threw a complete game one-hitter. It was the fourth one-hitter in Binghamton Mets team history that was thrown by just one pitcher. He need only 103 pitches to pitch the B’Mets to a 5-0 win over the Erie SeaWolves with 76 of them being strikes.

The only hit that Ynoa allowed was a two-out double in the third inning. He faced two batters over the minimum with the only other runner reaching on an error by Gavin Cecchini. The most pitches he threw in one inning was 16 (did twice) and the most balls were the six he had in the third inning.

The big key for Ynoa on the night was the control of his breaking ball which he threw 32 times with 24 of them coming for strikes. He has been throwing a slider most of his career but it had become more slurvy during the 2015 season. This game he was throwing more of traditional curveball and was using it consistently to get called strikes.

He finished with six strikeouts, 12 ground ball outs and seven outs coming on fly balls. This is the final out of the game and click here to watch his sixth strikeout. Ynoa is currently ranked as the Mets #8 prospect according to MLB Pipeline. Overall this season he was 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and held hitters to a .263 average.
