Jonah Tong Fantasy Stats

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong will be called up to start Monday's game against the Miami Marlins, according to MLB.com. Tong will make his first start of the season for the Mets on Monday after appearing in three games out of the bullpen in New York earlier this season. In the month of August at Triple-A Syracuse, Tong went 2-1 with a 2.39 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 26 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings pitched. Tong's recent form at Triple-A as a starter should give fantasy managers faith in his potential fantasy outlook this time around in New York. Tong is the No. 5 prospect for the Mets and possesses a 60-grade fastball and changeup combination with a 50-grade curveball. Tong makes for a nice late-season pickup in fantasy leagues of all sizes.

According to David Lennon, New York Mets starting pitcher prospect Jonah Tong will receive the call-up to face off against the Miami Marlins on Monday. There was speculation that Tong would get a promotion here soon, and now it's true. The 23-year-old has looked good lately in Triple-A, so the Mets will give him a chance down the stretch of the season. He has only made three appearances for the Mets this season and owns a 4.54 ERA during his time with Triple-A Syracuse. Tong is a former top prospect of the Mets who they believe can still be a key contributor for them. The right-hander will draw a favorable start against the Marlins lineup, but his overall stats don't give fantasy managers too much confidence.

The New York Mets are leaning towards giving right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong a start in Miami next week against the division-rival Marlins, according to Mike Puma of The New York Post. It would be only Tong's fourth outing (and first start) for the Mets in 2026 after he had a 7.71 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, and 22:9 K:BB in 18 2/3 innings in his first five big-league starts in 2025. The 23-year-old Canadian hurler appeared in three games in relief for the Mets earlier this season and was serviceable, allowing six runs (four earned) on eight hits (one homer) while walking seven and striking out seven. Tong has posted a 4.46 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 133:66 K:BB in 117 innings at Triple-A Syracuse, but he has looked better on the mound of late, with a 2.39 ERA last month and 12 2/3 scoreless innings in his last two starts on the farm. If he handles himself well in his return to the big leagues next week against the Fish, the team's No. 5-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline could see more starts down the stretch as the Mets play out the string in 2026.

MLB.com's Anthony DiComo writes that New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong, who is ranked as the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, could supplant Robert Stock in the major-league rotation if he pitches well this weekend at Triple-A Syracuse. "I think we'll continue to keep an eye on him, continue to watch, continue to see how he performs," interim manager Andy Green said. "Definitely somebody that we think highly of and will be excited when the time comes." The 36-year-old Stock does not factor into the Mets' future plans in a meaningful way. Mets officials want to make sure that when Tong returns to the majors for the third time, he is well-prepared to stick around. When Tong was called up earlier in 2026, he had a 5.68 ERA at Syracuse. He had a 3.60 ERA in three appearances with the Mets in May and early June, but he was shaky on the mound. The 23-year-old Canadian has expanded his arsenal this year and has added a cutter to the mix. In his last six minor-league starts, Tong has a 2.48 ERA while holding opponents to a .198 average. If he returns to the majors, Tong will be a risky fantasy option because of his inconsistent control -- he has issued 15 free passes in a 29-inning stretch in his last six starts at Syracuse.

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong had another solid outing in his latest start, tossing 5 2/3 innings of scoreless ball, yielding three hits and two walks while striking out three. The Mets' fifth-ranked prospect owns a 1.26 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over his last three starts as he attempts to make a case for a return to the majors. Last year, the right-hander led all minor leaguers with 179 strikeouts, and his 29.9 percent K-BB% was the highest among pitchers with at least 100 innings pitched, but he has not seen the same success in 2026, with a lower strikeout rate and a higher walk rate, leading to an underwhelming 13.8 percent K-BB% in 100 IP at Triple-A this season. The 6-foot-1 hurler has also not been very effective in his two stints in the majors between last year and this year, but perhaps this recent three-game stretch is a sign of maturation and development. Still, even though the 23-year-old could find his way back to New York before the end of the season, he doesn't warrant stashing in most fantasy leagues.

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong is coming off his third straight solid start in a row at Triple-A Syracuse. He's given up one run or less in his past three outings at Triple-A and on Saturday night he pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings with three hits, two walks, and three strikeouts on his way to picking up the victory. He lowered his ERA this month to 3.26 and his overall minor-league ERA to 4.86. After a good month of July, Tong has had a nice month of August at Triple-A after making a big-league appearance at the end of May and early June. Tong appeared three times out of the bullpen for the Mets in his big-league stint, pitching 10 innings and giving up four earned runs. Tong looks like he could get back to New York the way he is pitching now in the minors. He's a decent bet to get a few starts this season and has nice upside for fantasy managers.

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong has strung together a pair of back-to-back solid outings for Triple-A Syracuse, yielding a total of two earned runs on seven hits and six walks while striking out 12 batters in 8 2/3 innings pitched. The Mets' top pitching prospect has had an underwhelming season overall, pitching to a 5.15 ERA (6.10 FIP), 1.47 WHIP, and a 14.2 percent K-BB% in 21 starts (94 1/3 IP). The right-hander made three appearances for the Mets earlier this year out of the bullpen, but was mostly ineffective with a 3.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 7:7 BB:K in 10 IP. If these last two starts are the beginning of a trend in the right direction, then the 6-foot-1 hurler could find himself back in Queens before the year is out. There is plenty of strikeout potential, but until he shows better control and effectiveness in upcoming starts, the 23-year-old is merely a speculative stash option in deeper leagues in hopes he can help out as the fantasy playoffs approach.

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong tossed four innings of one-run ball in his last start for Triple-A Syracuse but got a no-decision after walking four batters and giving up four hits and striking out six. Other than a start before his most recent one when he gave up five earned runs, Tong has actually been quite good for Syracuse and could be looked at to make another appearance for the big-league club before the season ends. For the Mets this season, Tong pitched three relief appearances and recorded a 1-1 record after allowing four earned runs in 10 innings pitched. Tong is the No. 5 prospect for the Mets and boasts a 60-grade fastball-changeup combination. The right-hander has pitched in a starting role at Syracuse this year and is trying to get back into the Mets' rotation before the end of the season.

Just when it looked like New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong might be ready for another shot in the big leagues after posting a 1.84 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings pitched over three starts, the right-hander got roughed up for six runs (five earned) on five hits -- all of which were home runs -- along with one walk and a hit batter while striking out three in five innings of work in his latest outing. After a 2025 in which he posted a 1.43 ERA and struck out 179 batters in 113 2/3 innings pitched (mostly at Double-A), the Mets' top-ranked prospect now owns a 5.46 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 19 starts at Syracuse, though the strikeout totals remain high at 26.9 percent. The 23-year-old may get another shot in the majors this year, but it could be as a reliever again like he was earlier this season. Either way, he doesn't warrant stash consideration at this point in most redraft leagues.

New York Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong had a rough outing in his last start for the Syracuse Mets on Wednesday, giving up five home runs and five earned runs in five innings pitched. Tong has pitched with mixed results for Triple-A Syracuse this season, going 3-6 overall with a 5.46 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. He does have 103 strikeouts in 85 2/3 innings which is a good sign that he has greater than a strikeout per inning. Tong had a three-game stint with the big league club earlier this season out of the bullpen and allowed four earned runs in 10 innings pitched. Tong, however, has pitched primarily as a starter at the Triple-A level and has struggled to find his top-notch form. It's still worth monitoring Tong because he could be a useful pitcher if he is given a shot to start again for the Mets. The 23-year-old right-hander has shown flashes at the major league level and could be good if called upon again.
