Pitching prospects continue to quickly rise through the Mets' system.
Two of the team's draft picks from last year received the call to Double-A on Monday.
Left-hander Jonathan Santucci, a second-round pick, is one of them.
Santucci had a bit of a rough start to his first full year with the organization, but he has pitched to a 1.35 ERA over his past nine appearances in Brooklyn.
The 22-year-old allowed runs in just four of those outings and has 57 strikeouts.
This stretch has helped him lower his ERA to 3.46 on the year.
SNY's Joe DeMayo had this to say about Santucci as he ranked him 15th on his updated Top 30:
“Santucci comes equipped with a fastball that will get up to 96 mph, a plus slider, and a changeup that he has a feel for and flashes plus but needs to find consistency. He’ll need some work on his command, but is athletic and has a starter’s build with an easily repeatable delivery.”
Thirteenth-round pick RJ Gordon out of the University of Oregon also received a promotion.
Gordon is a 23-year-old right-hander who has pitched just as well as Santucci -- putting together a 3.06 ERA and 1.34 WHIP while striking out 76 batters and walking just 31 across 67.2 innings of work.
The pair joins a Binghamton staff headlined by top-100 prospect Jonah Tong.
Tong's strong season continued this weekend, striking out 11 batters in 5.2 innings of two-run ball.
