Mets prospect Jett Williams leaves game after being hit in helmet by pitch
There was a scary moment involving Mets prospect Jett Williams in Friday night's game with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. In the first inning of the Binghamton-Somerset game, Patriots right-hander Carlos Lagrange threw a 1-2 fastball up and in to Williams. However, the pitch, which SNY prospects writer Joe DeMayo clocked at 98 mph, ran in and hit Williams near the ear flap of his batting helmet. Williams collapsed to the ground before he sat up as the trainer checked him out. After a minute or two, Williams got back up and walked off under his own power and was taken out of the game. Advertisement There was no immediate update on Williams' condition and his status moving forward is undetermined. Williams, DeMayo's No. 2 Mets prospect, was having a solid first full season in Double-A. In 47 games, Williams is slashing .277/.381/.446 with four home runs, 12 doubles, 17 stolen bases and an OPS of .827. Entering Friday's game, Williams had a two-game hitting streak going and reached base at least once in the last 10 games.

Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Yankees promotions have brought two intriguing starting pitchers closer to the majors. The Yankees have bumped up Cam Schlittler and Carlos Lagrange one level, Schlittler rising to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Lagrange to Double-A Somerset. Schlittler is now one step away from The Bronx after a strong 2024, a nice showing in major league spring training and excellent work with Somerset this season. In 10 games with the Double-A club, the 6-foot-6 righty pitched to a 2.38 ERA while striking out 64 in 53 innings. Cam Schlittler Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Carlos Lagrange MLB Photos via Getty Images The No. 10 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline, led the system in strikeouts (154) last year and is looking like a realistic option to debut this year if a need arises. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS The big-league Yankees have navigated around several injuries already and expect Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman to return in the coming weeks. Lagrange, a 6-foot-7 righty fireballer, probably is not an option for this year but is providing plenty of hope for the future. The 22-year-old is the first to be promoted from a loaded rotation at High-A Hudson Valley after posting a 4.10 ERA in eight starts in which he struck out 64 and walked 12 in 41 ⅔ innings.
