JUPITER, Fla. — A.J. Ewing’s goal entering the season is the same as it was last year: “Dominate the level where I’m at.”
The Mets outfield prospect went from Low-A St. Lucie to Double-A Binghamton last year and has been among the group of young players that has stood out to Carlos Mendoza so far this spring.
“He’s a baseball player,’’ the manager said prior to Ewing starting in left field and hitting seventh against the Marlins on Friday at Roger Dean Stadium. “There’s a lot of different ways he can help a team win a baseball game, whether it’s the way he plays defense, the way he runs the bases [or his] good at-bats. He puts the ball in play and drives the ball. He’s another kid, I don’t think people talk much about him. He’s a good one there.”
