The Mets promoted Vasil from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 23-year-old Vasil, the top pitching prospect in the Mets' system, is now just one rung away from reaching the big leagues. After a brilliant 2022 campaign split between three levels, Vasil was unfazed by the jump in competition in the Eastern League. Through his 10 starts with Binghamton, Vasil submitted a 3.71 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 51 innings while striking out 28.9 percent of the batters he faced and walking just 4.1 percent.

Mets' Mike Vasil: Excellent at Double-A
Rotowire
Vasil has a 2.70 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and a 41:4 K:BB in 30 innings across six starts for Double-A Binghamton.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound righty has a bulldog mentality, going right after hitters while filling up the zone. He uses his low-to-mid-90s four-seamer up in the zone and mixes in his slider and changeup down in the zone. Vasil is arguably already the Mets' best pitching prospect thanks to this excellent start to his age-23 season.
