New York Mets AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat dominated High-A and Double-A hitters before hitting a wall at Triple-A in his first pro season after not pitching in 2023 after getting selected in the second round. He is known for his age (spent four years at Florida, turns 25 in September) fastball velocity (96.3 mph average in 2024, topped out at 101.5 mph) and plus changeup, although his fastball plays below its velocity due to mediocre shape. The 6-foot-3 righty also boasts an above-average sweeper and seldom-used curveball. His command/control is fringy, so he profiles as a high-strikeout starter who could be a WHIP liability early in his career. Sproat's K-BB% dipped from 26.7 percent at Double-A to 7.8 percent at Triple-A, while his WHIP spiked from 0.87 to 1.64. The 116.1 innings he threw last year were the most he'd ever thrown in a season, so it's possible he just wore down late in the season, and that explains his struggles at Triple-A. However, the caliber of hitter at Triple-A vs. the majors is night and day, so the fact we haven't seen Sproat master Triple-A yet is still a valid concern with regards to drafting him for 2025.

Sent to minor-league camp
PNew York Mets  AAA
March 4, 2025
Sproat was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sproat made a good first impression, tossing a pair of clean innings while touching 99 mph in his first-ever Grapefruit League appearance last Friday. A second-round pick by the Mets in 2023, Sproat is now considered by many to be the top pitching prospect in the organization, though he struggled to a 7.85 ERA in seven starts with Triple-A Syracuse down the stretch last season. The right-hander will look to improve upon that number and earn his way onto the Mets' 40-man and 26-man rosters this summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Needs more time in minors?
PNew York Mets  AAA
October 28, 2024
According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Mets officials feel Sproat could use more "seasoning" in the minors before making his MLB debut.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander appeared to have an outside chance of debuting in late 2024 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB over 62.1 innings for Double-A Binghamton, though that momentum stalled since he had a 7.53 ERA in seven starts after being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse. Sproat is one of the organization's top prospects, but he's likely a longshot to crack the Opening Day roster.
