Brandon Sproat

24-Year-Old PitcherSP
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.

Sproat is slated to start Saturday's game against the Rangers at Citi Field.
Analysis
Called up from Triple-A Syracuse last weekend, Sproat turned in a largely impressive MLB debut in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds. The 24-year-old righty held the Reds hitless through the first 5.1 innings but unraveled a bit thereafter, finishing the contest with three earned runs allowed on three hits and four walks while striking out seven across six frames. He spotted 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes in the outing and averaged 96.1 miles per hour with his fastball, though he didn't induce many whiffs (six swinging strikes). With the Mets recently dispatching the struggling Kodai Senga to the minors and with Sean Manaea's standing in the rotation on shaky ground, Sproat should have a good chance to make three more starts with the big club through the end of the regular season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
NYM not ready to promote
PNew York Mets
July 2, 2025
The Mets have yet to call up Sproat since the organization doesn't want to interrupt his development process, reports Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News.
Analysis
New York has dealt with a plethora of injuries to the starting rotation, but the organization has yet to turn to their top pitching prospects like Sproat, Nolan McLean or Jonah Tong. Sproat hasn't exactly handled himself well at the Triple-A level with a 5.74 ERA in 17 starts this season and a 7.53 ERA over seven outings in his first taste of the level last year, so the Mets likely want him to turn a corner before promoting him for his MLB debut. Sean Manaea is also close to returning from his oblique and elbow injuries, so rotation reinforcements are already on the horizon for the big club.
