Mets Minor League Roundup: Billy Amick and Jacob Reimer each tally RBI

A roundup of recent performances from notable prospects within the Mets farm system, including minor leaguers Billy Amick, Jacob Reimer, Jefferson Rojas, Sammy Stafura, and more.

Throughout the Mets' minor league season, several players have demonstrated their abilities. At High-A Brooklyn, Sammy Stafura struggled in the suspended game, striking out twice before drawing a walk as the first batter. The 21-year-old, acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, has yet to hit consistently with the Mets organization, standing at a .627 OPS in his first eleven games.

In Double-A Binghamton, Jefferson Rojas had a notable performance in the Rumble Ponies' 7-5 loss to the Altoona Curve. Batted leadoff, Rojas hit a double in the sixth inning, moving up to third base on a passed ball and scoring on Reimer's sacrifice fly. His impressive .822 OPS at Double-A surpassed his .800 OPS prior to the trade from the Chicago Cubs.

At Triple-A Syracuse, the lineup failed to produce, as top prospects Nick Morabito, Émilien Pitre, and Billy Amick each hit a base hit. In the bottom of the first inning, Morabito stole second base, while Pitre single in the seventh. Amick, however, made a significant impact with a solo home run in the fourth inning, marking his first homer in Triple-A.
