27 G | 2.27 ERA | 31.2 IP | 27 K
A name to keep an eye on.
Ben Simon gets promoted to AAA!
Good start to the year through 15.1 IP posting a 3.34 FIP & 19.4 K-BB%. Fastball up to 100 MPH!
Big league caliber arm eligible for the Rule 5 Draft this winter & likely added to the 40-man this offseason to protect him!
UPDATE: Ben just made his AAA debut!
Of course, it was a hitless, scoreless outing:
1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB; fastball reached 96.
Of the 27 pitchers listed on the AAA @SyracuseMets roster, only 3 are younger than Ben. 2 of those 3 are on the Mets top 30 prospects list.
Congratulations to Reliance Baseball’s, Ben Simon on his promotion to Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization.

Ben Simon is a Mets arm that caught my eye the other day
His shapes look significantly better than what we’ve seen from him before with more velo
The Fastball was up almost 5 MPH & 3 IVB from last spring! Velo & health will be something to monitor over the year
One notable thing from the Mets game yesterday:
Ben Simon consistently hitting 97/98 mph with his fastball.
He saw a velocity boost at the end of last season as he finished with a 1.06 ERA in 17 innings for Double-A Binghamton.
World stage secured 🌍

Mets prospect Ben Simon went from injured to sitting 98 mph. 🚀
When dealing with injuries and inconsistent outings, he struggled to stay on the mound and trust his stuff.
By focusing on getting healthy, tightening up his arsenal, and building consistency, everything started to click, and the velocity followed. 📈

What an effort by Ben Simon to earn the six-out save for the @RumblePoniesBB last night.
He fired two perfect innings and helped tie the Eastern League Championship Series 1-1! 👀
