New York Mets Top Prospects for 2026

1. Nolan McLean, RHP, 24, 6’2”/214, MLB

After being a two-way player at Oklahoma State, McLean got a chance to hit and pitch in pro ball. While the present power was there, the contact skills always held him back. McLean did not hit in a game after June 20, 2024, and focusing solely on pitching is paying off.

McLean’s fastball sits in the mid-90s with a heavy armside run. He throws from a 5’4” release height, which helps the pitch play at the top of the zone and has a rising effect despite the IVB not being overwhelming. With 10 or more inches of horizontal movement regularly, McLean has shown bat-missing ability, with the offering having a 41 percent whiff rate.

The slider has around 10 mph of velocity separation from the fastball, sitting in the mid-80s with heavy sweeping action. It has late horizontal movement, which deceives hitters, largely due to its extremely high spin rates, which have been up to 3200 rpm. Watching the pitch, it is easily plus or better, and the metrics back it up.

McLean will mix a cutter on occasion, but the increased curveball usage has been huge. It has a 42 percent whiff rate while sitting around 80 mph with two-plane break. The changeup has been used at the right time, and overall, McLean sequences extremely well.

After posting a 2.45 ERA across 113.2 Minor League innings, McLean dominated in the Majors, ending two innings shy of exhausting prospect eligibility. In 48 innings with the Mets, McLean posted a 2.06 ERA with a 30 percent strikeout rate. He looks like a potential Rookie of the Year in 2026.
