The Mets optioned Morabito to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
New York thought highly enough of Morabito to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft this winter and add him to the 40-man roster, but the 22-year-old may need multiple injuries to hit the Mets outfield in order to get a look in the big leagues in 2026. Morabito will be making his Triple-A debut to begin the upcoming season after he spent the entire 2025 campaign at Double-A Binghamton, where he slashed .273/.348/.385 with six home runs and 48 stolen bases over 491 plate appearances.

The Mets selected Morabito's contract from Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Morabito spent all of the 2025 campaign at Binghamton, slashing .273/.348/.385 with six home runs and 49 stolen bases over 118 contests. The 22-year-old can play all three outfield spots and has logged 130 steals in 300 pro games. Morabito is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft.

Mets' Nick Morabito: Another 40-steal season
Rotowire
Morabito is hitting .273 with six home runs, 45 steals, a nine percent walk rate and a 24 percent strikeout rate in 112 games for Double-A Binghamton.
The speedy outfielder has been at least 18 percent better than the average hitter in the leagues he has played in since rookie ball in 2023, but he has also steadily hit the ball on the ground too often. Morabito had a 55 percent groundball rate last year and has a 53.4 percent groundball rate this year, so while he attempts to pull the ball, unlike some speed-first outfielders, he hasn't had much success lifting the ball in the air consistently. The righty-hitting 22-year-old has stolen 104 bases in 231 games over the past two seasons.
