The New York Metz Outfield looks locked in for opening day with Juan Soto in left field

and Louis Robert Jr. in center.

That leaves Slim Oz for prospect AJ Ewing to make the roster.

Right field is a tight battle between top prospect Carson Venge and Mike Taushman, plus spots

for Tyrone Taylor and Brett Beatty.

Ewing, the Metz number 4.

And number 97 overall per MLB pipeline has made the most of his chances.

The 21-year-old has played in seven spring games, going five for 14 with a 357 average,

one home run, and six runs batted.

In.

He's gotten extra timely, Lee since Soto is at the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican

Republic.

Ewing stands out with his above average defense.

The kind general manager David Sterns wants.

In a recent game against Miami, he made a diving catch on a line drive to left that

saved a hit and ended the inning.

Manager Carlos Mendoza has been impressed with Ewing's routes to the ball and quickchumps.

The young outfielder was drafted in the fourth round, 134 overall, back in 2023.

That pick came after the Metz lost Jacob DeGrom to free agency.

Even with the crowded outfield, Ewing's hot star keeps him in the conversation as camp

wraps up.
