New York Mets prospect Ryan Clifford was named Eastern League Player of the Week after a dominant stretch at Double-A. The 21-year-old slugger batted .522 with four home runs and eight walks, showcasing his advanced power and plate discipline. On the season, Clifford is slashing .245/.367/.497 with 21 home runs, a 26.6% strikeout rate, and an impressive 15.5% walk rate. A former 11th-round pick in the 2022 draft, Clifford has rapidly climbed the Mets' farm system. With continued production, the first baseman/outfielder could be on the fast track to Triple-A later this summer.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford went 3-for-4 with two long balls, three RBI, and a walk during their contest against Double-A Reading on Wednesday evening. Clifford was able to snap a nine-game power skid in a big way with his second two-homer game of the campaign. During this nine-game slump, the former 11th-round pick posted a low .086/.200/.114 slash line with a double. Through 89 total games with Double-A this season, Clifford has posted a .235/.351/.476 line with an .827 OPS and 19 round-trippers. Last summer, Clifford made his Double-A debut and held a similar .231/.359/.456 line but just 18 long balls across a larger 98-game stint. If Clifford can continue to progress, he may be in the mix to earn a taste of Triple-A later this season.

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford clubbed a pair of home runs in a 2-for-6 day at the plate for Double-A Binghamton. The first was a three-run blast in the opening frame of the contest, and the other was a grand slam in the eighth inning. The 21-year-old has four home runs in his last five games and 17 on the year, now the owner of a .246/.363/.496 slash line with a .387 wOBA and 152 wRC+ through 79 games. The former 11th-round draft pick has an elevated 26.6 percent strikeout rate, but it is somewhat offset by a strong 15.3 percent walk rate, and so long as he continues to hit for power, there's a chance he could see some time at Triple-A later this year.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford has gone deep in back-to-back games at Double-A Binghamton. Over these two games, Clifford has gone 5-for-10 at the dish with three runs and five RBI. However, prior to this recent power surge, Clifford held a modest 0.80/.179/.080 slash line over his last eight contests. During this stretch, Clifford tallied just two hits (both singles). Through the first 27 games of the Double-A regular season, Clifford has held a .228/.330/.435 slash line with four doubles and five round-trippers. Last season, Clifford held a similar .231/.359/.456 slash line across 98 games with Double-A Binghamton. If Clifford can continue to find his power swing, he should be in the mix to join Triple-A in the coming weeks.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford went 2-for-3 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday evening against Double-A New Hampshire. This outing extended his current hitting streak to four games. During this four-game surge, Clifford has tallied at least two hits in all but one contest. Before this recent surge, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the system held an underwhelming .154/.333/.231 slash line with just two extra-base hits. Clifford spent most of the 2024 campaign with Double-A Binghamton, and fantasy managers should expect Clifford to be in contention to earn a promotion to Triple-A in the coming weeks if he continues this steady production. If he is able to earn an early call to Triple-A this summer, he could push for a second-half MLB debut.
