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.

Finding groove at Triple-A
PNew York Mets  AAA
April 13, 2025
Sproat gave up one run on two hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Saturday's start for Triple-A Syracuse.
ANALYSIS
After a bumpy first outing this season, Sproat has bounced back to post an 8:2 K:BB over his last two starts and 8.1 innings for Syracuse. The 24-year-old righty tossed 75 pitches (51 strikes) in Saturday's appearance, and while he'll need to be more efficient before he'll be a real option for a spot start with the Mets, he's making progress toward his big-league debut.

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.
