Jonah Tong Earns Mets' 2025 Pitcher of the Year Award, Makes MLB Debut

New York Mets right-hander Jonah Tong, a 2022 seventh-round pick, has been named the organization's 2025 Pitcher of the Year, capping a swift rise through the minors that included his major league debut. Tong started the 2024 season with Low-A St. Lucie and finished with Binghamton. In 2025, he posted staggering minor league numbers with Binghamton, recording a 1.59 ERA and 162 strikeouts over 102.0 innings in 20 starts. After two scoreless appearances with Triple-A Syracuse, Tong was called up, allowing just one earned run on six hits over 5.0 innings in his MLB debut against the Marlins, despite a subsequent rough outing against Texas.
