Mets Promote Speedster Ewing After Just 12 Triple-A Games
12 May
Summary
- Top prospect A.J. Ewing called up to majors after only 12 Triple-A games.
- Ewing boasts a .339 batting average with 17 stolen bases in minors.
- The 21-year-old outfielder may debut against the Detroit Tigers Tuesday.
The New York Mets are expected to call up highly-touted prospect A.J. Ewing to the major leagues this week. The 21-year-old outfielder has experienced a rapid ascent, reaching Triple-A less than a month ago. Ewing was promoted to Triple-A on April 27, following an impressive stint at Double-A.
Since the start of the 2026 season, Ewing has showcased his offensive prowess, batting .339 with two home runs and 17 stolen bases across 30 minor league games. His ability to get on base and steal bases could provide a much-needed spark for the Mets, who currently sit 10 games under .500.
Ewing's potential MLB debut could come as early as Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. His call-up follows just 12 games at the Triple-A level and 46 games at Double-A, highlighting the Mets' confidence in his immediate impact.
Last season, Ewing hit .315 and stole 70 bases in 124 games, primarily with High-A Brooklyn. Across 251 minor league games since being drafted in 2023, he has a .290 average, 15 homers, and 101 stolen bases.
