For the second year in a row, I find myself outmaneuvered by my nimbler colleagues at Amazin’ Avenue and left with the cosmic-joke choice of either writing about a prospect—a task for which any number of others are undoubtedly better-suited—or nothing at all. Because it is spring training, and because I genuinely love both the fine humans of this website and our New York Mets, I opted for the former. Indeed, I opted to offer up a season preview of none other than Ronny Mauricio.
Ronny Mauricio is only 21 years old and hasn’t yet played above the Double-A level, but he’s one of those prospects who feels like he’s been around forever.
