Futures Game

The Mets have 3 representatives in today's Futures Game. Noah Syndergaard and Brandon Nimmo will play for the US team and Rafael Montero for the World team as Syndergaard and Montero will start against each other on the mound. These 3 guys are only a few of the promising prospects we are in the process of developing. Syndergaard came over in the trade for RA Dickey and looks like he's going to be a superstar. He is blowing away hitters in the minors this year and it won't be too long before we see him in a Mets uniform at Citi Field, not a USA jersey. Brandon Nimmo is a little bit farther away, as he is a very young kid. He is an outfielder with a ton of potential, but it is too early to be able to say that he is going to be a star. Then Rafael Montero is a smaller name but still a great pitcher. Like all the young kids that we've been developing, he's a hard thrower and has dominant stuff. With Harvey and Wheeler already here, and these 2 pitchers not too far away, it looks like the Mets could have one of the best rotations in the whole MLB in a couple of years. Travis d'Arnaud, who has been injured basically all season long, but he has the makings of a superstar behind the plate. I really liked what I saw from him in spring training this year. As I sit here watching the Futures Game, Syndergaard, in his only inning he will throw, was absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait to see this kid up in the Majors, because I really think he is going to be something very special.
