Mets offseason top 30 prospects for 2026

1. INF Jefferson Rojas: The Mets obtained Rojas from the Cubs during the 2026 trade deadline for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. A consensus top 100 prospect, Rojas has shown improvement in his power hitting, hitting .285/.338/.611 (.949 OPS) in 35 games between Double-A and Triple-A. Scouts believe his best position is third base, with an above average throwing arm, but he is capable of playing second base as well.

Rojas is expected to be an above average hitter with above average power, potentially hitting 20-to-25 home runs at the next level. He could compete for a starting job in 2027.

2. LHP Jonathan Santucci: The Mets' top pitching prospect led minor league baseball with 163 strikeouts in 125 innings pitched in 2026, earning him the title of Pitcher of the Year. He transitioned from Double-A to Triple-A and posted a 3.54 ERA in 20.1 innings in his final four starts. Santucci possesses a mid-90s fastball that can reach 97 mph, an upper-80s slider, and a developing changeup.

He is an excellent athlete and is expected to become a mid-rotation starter for the Mets in 2027 after refining his pitch arsenal and command.

3. INF Mitch Voit: Drafted by the Mets in 2025 from Michigan, Voit underwent swing mechanics adjustments prior to his pro debut. Initially struggling with the bat, he found his groove in June, hitting .347/.430/.517 (.947 OPS) in 29 games with the Double-A Brooklyn Cyclones. Voit is a plus athlete and defender, and while his power and contact tools may not be elite, his natural athleticism and skill set make him a strong candidate for the majors in 2027.
