The New York Mets are calling up top prospect 21-year old CF A.J. Ewing for tomorrow's game against the Tigers. Ewing started the season in Double-A Binghamton and was in low St. Lucie-Single A at the beginning of last year.

Ewing has played 30 games between Double-A Binghamton (18 games) Triple-A Syracuse (12 games). He is hitting .339 with a .961 OPS. Ewing has nine doubles, two triples, and two homers with 11 RBIs and 25 runs scored. Ewing has 22 walks and 17 strikeouts.

Hopefully Ewing will be able to utilize his speed in the outfield and provide energy and bring a jolt to a starting lineup that desperately needs a spark.

Ewing is known for his defense and it will be fun to watch him and fellow rookie Carson Benge in the outfield for years to come with their defense and strong arms.
