Mets Prospects Battle for 2027 | New York Mets News

Mets prospects are heating up, with Mitch Voit’s breakout 2026 season earning him Player Development Player of the Year honors—hitting over .340 in Double-A after early struggles. A natural at second, he’s expanding his range to shortstop for versatility. With a crowded infield featuring Marcus Semien and Triple-A ready talents Émilien Pitre and Jefferson Rojas, Voit’s 2027 path looks more like A.J. Ewing’s: camp battle, not immediate starter. Meanwhile, top prospect Rojas is showing serious power, boosted by added weight and solid exit velocity. With a weaker free agent class and uncertain financial future, prospects like Rojas are even more valuable. Scouts see him best at third, but Bo Bichette’s opt-outs create a window—if Bichette leaves, Rojas clears the way; if he stays, Rojas pivots to second. Either way, Rojas is a cornerstone asset—prime for long-term role or trade bait, especially for pitching. It’s a luxury problem: too much talent, too few spots.
