Earlier this month, the Mets sent Luisangel Acuña to minor league spring training and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, where he figures to begin the 2024 season. A top-100 prospect in all of baseball according to Baseball Prospectus and MLB.com, Acuña ranked third on our list of the Mets’ top prospects heading into the 2024 season.
Having just turned 22, Acuña is the younger brother of Ronald Acuña Jr., arguably the best player in baseball at the moment. Both players stole a ton of bases at their respective levels last year, but Luisangel is a middle infielder and hasn’t hit for nearly as much power as his older brother.
