Metsprospect A.J. Ewing made his Triple-A debut on Tuesday night and impressed his new team.

Ewing announced his arrival with a standup triple to lead the game. He launched a 93 mph fastball from Alan Rangel of the IronPigs to left center field. The ball was hit with an exit velocity of 104.4 mph and centerfielder Steward Berroa could not catch up to it. The ball caromed off the wall and trickled away from the fielders, allowing Ewing to get to third base unimpeded. He would eventually come around to score on a Christian Arroyo homer three batters later.

In his second at-bat, Ewing jumped on a fastball from Rangel again, but it stood in the air long enough for left fielder Otto Kemp to catch it on the run.

Ewing walked on a five-pitch walk in his third at-bat, and singled to lead off the seventh in his fourth at-bat. Two batters later, Ryan Clifford hit his fifth home run of the season to bring home Ewing.

In the eighth, Ewing came up with one out and runners on second and third when he doubled down the left field line to drive in his first runs with Syracuse.

Ewing finished 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs.

In 18 games with Double-A this season, Ewing hit .349 with a .481 OBP and 1.053 OPS, hitting two home runs with seven RBI and 12 stolen bases. SNY's Joe DeMayo listed Ewing, who has experience in center field and second base, as the Mets' No. 3 overall prospect, behind Nolan McLean and Carson Benge.
