Mets prospect Jett Williams hits two triples with Binghamton, Brandon Sproat a tough-luck loser for Syracuse

Jett Williams is blazing his way up Mets minor league ladder

Mets top prospect Jett Williams continues to rake at the Double-A level.

After smashing two home runs on Wednesday, Williams kept the ball in the ballpark but instead was causing havoc on the bases, going 3-for-4 with a double and two triples. He drove in two runs, came in to score three times and drew a walk. Oh, and he stole a base for good measure, his 18th this season.

Williams’ great day at the plate helped the Binghamton Rumble Ponies rout the Richmond Flying Squirrels, 11-0. The Mets’ No. 1 prospect raised his batting average to .298, which is the highest it’s been since May 2.

In 52 games with Binghamton, Williams is slashing .298/.407/.530 with an OPS of .937 to go along with 16 doubles, four triples, six home runs and 23 RBI.

If the infielder continues to hit like this, a promotion to Syracuse may be in the works sooner rather than later.

Williams wasn’t the only Mets prospect to have an offensive outburst on Thursday — as Ryan Clifford launched a solo shot in the third inning en route to going 2-for-5.

The homer was Clifford’s 12th of the season and the fourth in his last six games.

Brandon Sproat takes loss with Syracuse

Sproat made his 13th minor league start on Thursday and while he was solid, he wasn’t efficient enough to leave with a chance for victory.

The young right-hander threw 89 pitches (61 strikes) across 5.1 innings but allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters.

Sproat was chugging along, allowing one run — via a ground out — through the first four innings but the fifth inning saw Scranton/Wilkes-Barre take advantage of their speed.

After Bryan De La Cruz led off with a single, the outfielder stole second and third with one out. Sproat then allowed the go-ahead run on an Ismael Munguia single. A wild pitch allowed Munguia to advance to second before Jorbit Vivas singled him home with two outs.

It was a tough luck loss for Sproat, whose offense behind him mustered up just one run in the 6-1 loss.

Drew Gilbert, one of the Mets’ top prospects, went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on the night.

Sproat now has a 3-5 record with a 5.31 ERA with Syracuse this season.
