Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/19/26: Clifford plays catch up

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (6-7

AKRON 5, BINGHAMTON 4 (BOX) Despite outhitting the RubberDucks 7-6, the Rumble Ponies lost 5-4. So it goes. Two errors, leading to an unearned run, were the difference, though most of the arms weren’t particularly clean or effective. Just don’t let your teenage children see Binghamton’s record now.

• CF A.J. Ewing: 2-5, R, 2 K, 2 SB (8)
• SS Marco Vargas: 0-3, R, 2 BB, K, SB (6), E (1)

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (4-9)

BROOKLYN 8, GREENBOROUGH 3 (BOX) A couple of former top prospects carried the day here in Brooklyn. Ronald Hernandez had two hits and two walks, while Colin Houck had three hits and a walk of his own. Neither are anything more than fliers at this point (and Houck is basically a complete non-prospect at this point) but fun things can still happen in High-A.

• SS Mitch Voit: 1-5, R
• 1B Ronald Hernandez: 2-3, R, 2 2B, 3 RBI, 2 BB, K
• C Daiverson Gutierrez: 2-5, R, 2 K

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (7-7)

ST. LUCIE 12, DAYTONA 8 (BOX) Maybe we need to pump the breaks a bit on the Cam Tilly breakout. Despite flashing fun stuff, his velocity hasn’t ticked up as much as you would have hoped and the results haven’t been there since the first start. Still stuff to like, but there’s work to be done here. Anyway, St. Lucie stole seven bases and scored 12 runs, with Elian Peña leading the way at the top of the lineup. The 18-year-old has as many walks as strikeouts and a 142 wRC+ through his first two weeks in full-season ball, an impressive start to be sure.

• SS Elian Peña: 2-5, R, 2 RBI, BB, K, SB (6), E (2)
• 3B Sam Robertson: 1-6, 2 K, 2 SB (10)
• LF Randy Guzman: 0-3, 2 R, 2 BB, K, 2 SB (3)
• DH AJ Salgado: 1-4, 2 R, 2B, BB, 2 K
• RF Simon Juan: 2-5, 2 RBI, 3 K
• 1B Chase Meggers: 3-4, 2 R, 2B, RBI, BB, K
• CF Sam Biller: 1-5, R, SB (3)
• C Francisco Toledo: 2-4, 2 R, RBI, BB
• 2B Vladi Gomez: 1-3, 2 R, 2B, RBI, BB, K, SB (1)
• RHP Cam Tilly: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
• RHP Luke Jackson: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
• RHP Ryan Dollar: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
• RHP Joe Scarborough: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
• RHP Miguel Mejias: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, W (1-0)
• RHP Tyler McLoughlin: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
