A New York Mets comment we often hear is how this organization seems to rarely produce young superstars. At least one National League rival always seems to promote a kid below the drinking age. In 2018, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Juan Soto both fit this description.
Though it may not feel it, the Mets have employed the National League’s youngest player six times. Of course, youth doesn’t always translate into success in his rookie year or even beyond.
As of 2019, these six Mets were the youngest players in NL for a year.
