Mets' Rising Infield Prospects Earn High Marks in Updated Rankings

The New York Mets are entering the offseason with several promising young infielders, including two whose performances in 2026 have strengthened the organization's farm system.

Mitch Voit and Sammy Stafura are among the standouts in an updated consensus ranking of Mets prospects compiled from four publications.

Voit ranks third, while Stafura checks in sixth in the Mets News and Links prospect poll, which combines rankings from Baseball America, SNY, MLB Pipeline and Mets360.

Jefferson Rojas leads the consensus list, followed by left-handed pitcher Jonathan Santucci.

Voit's emergence is particularly encouraging after the Mets selected him 38th overall out of Michigan in the 2025 MLB Draft.

The 22-year-old infielder began the 2026 season with High-A Brooklyn before earning a promotion to Double-A Binghamton in late July.

He made an immediate impression with the Rumble Ponies, batting .347 with a .947 OPS, 12 doubles and two home runs in 29 games.

Voit also stole nine bases at Double-A, finishing the season with 45 across his two minor league stops.

His performance earned him MLB Pipeline's organizational Hitting Prospect of the Year recognition, adding to the Mets' growing collection of promising young players.

Stafura represents another important piece of New York's developing infield depth.

The 21-year-old shortstop arrived from the Pittsburgh Pirates in an August 3 trade that sent reliever Luke Weaver and cash considerations to Pittsburgh.

Before the deal, Stafura had enjoyed a remarkable power surge at High-A Greensboro, hitting 14 home runs in July.

The Westchester County native also grew up rooting for the Mets, making his acquisition particularly meaningful.

As Roundtable previously reported when Stafura joined the organization, the shortstop had followed the team since childhood and welcomed the opportunity to play for his hometown franchise.

The rankings reflect an organization that has undergone substantial changes following several prospect graduations and an active trade deadline.

Rojas, Santucci and Voit occupy the top three consensus positions, with Elian Peña and Wandy Asigen completing the top five.

Stafura follows at No. 6, giving the Mets five position players among their six highest-ranked prospects.

For a franchise looking to build a more sustainable contender, the development of Voit and Stafura offers another reason for optimism heading into 2027.
