Mets' Jonah Tong Ranks No. 7 on MLB Pipeline's Top 10 RHP Prospects

New York Mets' 22-year-old right-hander Jonah Tong has been ranked No. 7 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 10 RHP prospects for 2026. Coming off a season where he cruised through the minors and earned Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year, Tong showed flashes of potential in the majors but struggled to a 7.71 ERA over five outings. He is considered "highly coveted" in trade talks, though the Mets value him greatly. He could play a role in the majors this season, but more minor league time might be beneficial.
