Mets Prospect Nolan McLean Named MiLB Breakout Player of the Year

Mets pitching prospect Nolan McLean was honored at the third annual MiLB Awards Show, receiving the Breakout Player of the Year award for his impressive 2025 minor league season. Ranked as SNY's No. 4 prospect (and referred to as No. 3 by @mlbpipeline, having started the season off their Top 100), McLean excelled in his first season as a full-time pitcher after transitioning from a two-way role. He recorded a 2.45 ERA with 127 strikeouts over 113.2 innings across 21 appearances with Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. McLean earned a promotion to the majors and is anticipated to play a significant role in 2026, which will be his official rookie season.
