The Mets’ two prospects of the year moved quickly — each ascending three levels in one season — but they did so with a focus on walking.
The Mets celebrated the organization’s standouts with a ceremony at Citi Field on Thursday, when notably Christian Scott andScott, a fifth-round pick in 2021 out of the University of Florida, was named the club’s Pitcher of the Year after breezing through Low-A St. Lucie, High-A Brooklyn and spending most of his season at Double-A Binghamton.
Williams, a 19-year-old who was picked out of his Texas high school in the first round last year, made it all the way to Binghamton in his first full season as a professional. Among pitchers who had pitched as often as he did — at least 80 innings — Scott’s 3.6 percent walk rate was the fourth best in all of the minor leagues.
Scott threw a breaking ball that was more of a slurve in high school, he said, and turned to a baseball social media personality — Rob Friedman, aka Pitching Ninja — to improve the pitch in early 2020. Scott dealt with injuries and up-and-down results during a 2022 season that finished with a 4.45 ERA.
