MMO Weekly Episode 84: Mets Prospect A.J. Ewing
Mets fans, an all-new episode is here!
This week I’m joined by Mets 2023 fourth-round pick A.J. Ewing—who was just promoted to St. Lucie—for some great discussions about his first offseason as a professional, the biggest differences going to pro ball, learning a new position, expectations for this season, and more!
What was it like making the jump from high school to professional baseball? For A.J., there were a few immediate differences from the even the highest amateur levels:
“You definitely can’t take anything off once you get here. In high school and going through the travel ball circuit, you’ll have some pitchers that can really bring it, but then you have some other guys that don’t have as good of stuff. Once you get here, though, everyone throwing stuff that moves like crazy, everyone has the velocity, so you really have to be locked in at all times and no at bats can be taken off. Even on defense you need to be locked in every pitch for all nine innings of every single out.”
