Mets prospect A.J. Ewing continues surging start to Double-A season

A.J. Ewing was one of the young standouts in Mets camp this year.

With numerous regulars competing in the WBC, the youngster took full advantage of his opportunity for playing time, showcasing the many ways he can impact the game.

Thus far, he’s been able to carryover that success to open the Double-A season.

Ewing reached three times in Tuesday’s Binghamton loss -- doubling in the third, singling up the middle in the fifth, then driving in a run with another single in the seventh.

He finished the day 3-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.

The 21-year-old is now hitting a whopping .421 and he’s put together three multi-hit showings over his first eight appearances on the season.

Ewing has also walked (8) more than he’s stuck out (5), he’s ripped five doubles, and has swiped five bases to help rack up an incredible .538 OBP and 1.119 OPS.

He played second base on Tuesday for the third time this season, which as Joe DeMayo noted in his recent prospect mailbag is about maintaining his versatility.

Pair these early results with his strong finish with Binghamton last season, though, and there’s not much left for the former fourth-round pick to prove at the Double-A level.

If Ewing can keep this up, perhaps he’ll make the leap to Syracuse soon enough.
