Billy Amick Heads to Mets | New York Mets News

Billy Amick, Tennessee’s power-hitting third baseman and fan favorite with his iconic “The Stroke” walk-up song, just got traded — from the Minnesota Twins to the New York Mets right before the deadline. Acquired alongside Bruin Agbayani, he heads to Binghamton with high expectations after smashing 23 homers and driving in 65 runs last season. Originally a top-60 draft pick by the Twins, Amick now enters a new system where his development could skyrocket — even if he wasn’t on their top prospect list before. The Mets get a raw, powerful bat with upside; the Twins land A.J. Minter for pitching depth. This move could be a breakout moment for Amick.
