Luisangel Acuña's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Mets infield prospect Luisangel Acuna (foot) was scratched from Triple-A Syracuse's lineup for Thursday's game because he has a sore foot. Acuna, New York's No. 4 prospect for 2024, should be considered day-to-day with the issue, and fantasy managers in dynasty leagues hope it's only a minor setback. It's still yet another roadblock in the way of a potential promotion to the bigs in 2024 for the 22-year-old speedster, who's batting a decent .262 (107-for-408) with 75 runs scored and 31 stolen bases this season, but he has just five home runs, 14 doubles, and 37 RBI in 97 games in the minor leagues. The key piece to last year's Max Scherzer trade with the Texas Rangers for the Mets, Acuna's defense is also a work in progress, and his only pathway to the majors this season likely entails an injury to a member of the middle infield in Queens. If not that, Harrison Bader or Jose Iglesias would likely need to fall into a deep slump.

New York Mets infield prospect Luisangel Acuna has been enjoying a big turnaround at Triple-A since struggling over the first two months of the season. After posting an incredible 12-game hitting streak through June, Acuna continued to produce and has never gone more than two games without tallying at least one hit. Even though he has cooled off in July, he still sits with a solid .240 AVG since the last week of June. Through his first 86 games at the Triple-A level, the 22-year-old has posted a .259/.311/.355 line, but most of this is negatively affected by his poor start. From June 1, Acuna has held a dominant .291/.338/.386 line. Acuna's name could be called in the stretch run of the season as the Mets continue to hang around the wild card race especially since he is comfortable in playing at multiple positions across the infield.

New York Mets infield/outfield prospect Luisangel Acuna logged three hits for Triple-A Syracuse Sunday, extending his hitting streak to 10 games in a torrid stretch. During his 10-game hitting streak, Acuna has five multi-hit games. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 in June and has raised his season-long batting average to .271. The Mets No. 5 prospect has shown off the wheels with 26 stolen bases this year. His pure hitting ability and above-average speed make him a great future fantasy contributor. Acuna could get a look for New York at some point this season and when he does is worthy of waiver-wire consideration in leagues of all sizes.

On May 1, New York Mets infield prospect Luisangel Acuna was hitting .216, but now he's sitting at .254 after working with minor-league coaches J.P. Arencibia and Collin Hetzler to tighten his swing and lower his leg kick. They also wanted Acuna to stay back more instead of trying to go out and get pitches. The adjustments have worked, as Acuna is racking up more hits and hitting more balls in the air to left field. The brother of Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr., is currently on the Mets' 40-man roster. He's split playing time this year at Triple-A Syracuse at shortstop, second base and center field and has played all three positions well, according to evaluators. In his last 20 games for Syracuse, the 22-year-old is hitting .303 with eight stolen bases. Acuna is the team's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and could make his big-league debut later this year if the Mets fall further out of contention.

New York Mets shortstop prospect Luisangel Acuna went 2-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored, and two stolen bases on Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse. The pair of singles extended the 22-year-old's hit streak to nine games, although he isn't exactly knocking the cover off the ball during the streak with a .273 average and no home runs. The right-handed hitter has four doubles, three triples, and two home runs on the season, but even the last nine games could only bring his season batting average to .233. It's part of the reason that Acuna dropped 22 spots on MLB.com's most recently updated Top-100 prospects list, going from 58 to 80. The speed is still there though, totaling 13 stolen bases through 34 games.
