21-Year-Old OutfielderOF
New York Mets
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ewing stole 70 bases in 124 games in the minors last season while emerging as a potential long-term option for the Mets in center field. He received $675,000 in the 2023 draft and was roughly a league average (102 wRC+) hitter at the Single-A level as a 19-year-old in 2024. Ewing returned to Single-A in 2025 and logged a 204 wRC+ in 18 games and got a quick promotion to High-A. He played 78 games at High-A and earned another promotion to Double-A for his last 28 games of the campaign. All told, Ewing slashed .315/.401/.429 with three home runs, a 12.1 percent walk rate and an 18.6 percent strikeout rate. While Ewing's power is the weakest part of his game, he's not an intentional slap hitter, as he hit more balls to the pull side (40.8 percent) than the opposite field (38 percent) and his 40.3 percent groundball rate was a stellar mark. If anything, Ewing put on too much of a laser show, hitting more line drives (31.6 percent) than flyballs (28.2 percent). His realistic ceiling is Nico Hoerner in the outfield, and he's tracking towards an MLB debut in late 2026 or early 2027. Read Past Outlooks

Fills stat sheet in shootout loss
OFNew York Mets
July 7, 2026
Ewing went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 16-12 loss to the Royals.
Analysis
Ewing launched a two-run homer off Seth Lugo in the second inning before adding an RBI single in the fourth. He swiped his ninth base of the season in the sixth. The four hits established a season high and were more than he had collected from his previous seven games combined (three). Ewing is now slashing .276/.359/.431 with six home runs, seven doubles, one triple, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 200 plate appearances.
