Sproat

This well-deserved promotion comes just a day after the 23-year-old hurler racked up 13 strikeouts over five shutout innings at Double-A Binghampton. He has been extremely impressive this season, registering a 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and a 110/31 K/BB ratio over 87 2/3 innings between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghampton. At this rate, it’s not out of the question that we could see him make a start or two with the Mets before the 2024 season concludes.

Fresh off a highly-impressive outing a couple weeks ago at the MLB Futures Game, Sproat authored one of the more dominant pitching performances of the season on Friday evening, piling up an eye-popping 21 swinging strikes, and striking out the final 11 batters he faced en route to his second double-digit strikeout effort of the year. The 23-year-old right-hander has been arguably the fastest-rising pitching prospect this season for fantasy purposes as he’s recorded a sublime 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 110/31 K/BB ratio across 87 2/3 innings (17 appearances, 16 starts) between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamtom. It might be unrealistic to expect him to reach New York before the current season wraps up, but he’s going to enter the 2025 campaign as one of the top pitching prospects in the game.

Sproat threw the two hardest pitches of the prospect showcase at Globe Life Field, touching 99.2 mph with a pair of heaters in a scoreless third inning. The 23-year-old righty has rocketed up dynasty rankings list recently with a stellar 1.71 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 85/28 K/BB ratio across 73 2/3 innings (14 appearances, 13 starts) this season between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. He’s still a hyperspace jump away from the majors, but he could potentially finish the year as a top-10 overall pitching prospect.
