Report: Mets to call up Markham, Ont.'s Tong
Published
Jonah Tong is headed to the Show.
The Athletic's Will Sammon reports the New York Mets are promoting the top prospect righty.
A native of Markham, Ont., Tong is the team's No. 4 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline.
Tong, 22, was originally taken with a seventh-round pick in the 2022 MLB Amateur Draft out of Bill Crothers Secondary School.
After starting the season with the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Tong was promoted to the Triple-A Syracuse Mets earlier this month. Tong has made two starts in Triple-A, throwing 11.2 scoreless innings.
In order to officially promote Tong, the Mets will need to clear space from both their 40-man and 26-man rosters.
