Baseball is an international sport and the New York Mets have bolstered their minor league system with some additions in this market. In the coming years, they’ll reap those rewards.
Back in 2017, their current number one prospect, infielder Ronny Mauricio, was on MLB.com’s list of the top international prospects. In 2018, they had two players on the list: catcher Francisco Alvarez and outfielder Freddy Valdez. Alvarez is now ranked number five in their entire system with Valdez taking a spot at number 18.
Right behind Valdez is Alexander Ramirez at 19.
