Ryan Clifford Fantasy Stats

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has shown power numbers at Triple-A Syracuse but has not yet proven to be a consistent bat at the Triple-A level. He has 14 homers and 41 RBI but is hitting just .193 with a .660 OPS. He has added seven steals, showing he can run a little bit, but his OPS is the lowest of his career in the minors, which is a cause for concern. Clifford is the No. 2 prospect in the Mets system so the hype is there and the left handed hitter has shown the ability to play first base and outfield. Before getting a shot in New York at the big-league level, he will likely need to show more consistent hitting at Triple-A. But the bottom line is the Mets have a hole at first base and could look to Clifford to fill that hole in what is becoming a bit of a lost season. So Clifford is worth a look in mixed leagues but is not someone to rush to the waiver wire to add just yet.

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has spent the entire first half of the season with Triple-A Syracuse and is expected to compete for a second-half debut, especially if the Mets look to sell off some of their current starters. Through 74 games at Syracuse this season, Clifford, the former 11th-round selection, has held a .197/.282/.401 line with a .683 OPS, 11 doubles, and 14 home runs. While his hefty 36.3% K% is a glaring weakness, Clifford has shown high power upside at times. During the 2025 season, Clifford split his time between Double-A and Triple-A, where he hit a total of 29 home runs (over 139 games) with a .237/.356/.470 line. Managers should continue to monitor his progress at Syracuse, as he should emerge as a viable deep-league stash for power later in the summer.

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has continued to improve as a defender in the outfield. Clifford has spent most of his time in the minor leagues as a first baseman but has been shifted to the outfield to provide more versatility ahead of his eventual MLB debut. Last summer, Clifford spent most of his time with Double-A before earning a look at Triple-A in the second half. Across 139 total games, the 22-year-old logged 70 of the starts at first base and 53 coming in the outfield. He held a cumulative .237/.356/.470 line with a .526 OPS, 23 doubles, and 29 round-trippers. While Clifford is nearing his MLB debut, managers should expect him to begin the season at Triple-A to further improve his skills in the outfield. However, given New York's current lack of outfield depth, especially in right field, Clifford could be in contention to join the MLB roster much sooner than expected.

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford is unlikely to break camp with the MLB roster, but should be in the mix to reach Queens early in the campaign. Per MLB.com, Clifford is the team's No. 6 prospect and is considered the sport's No. 5 overall first base prospect. Clifford was drafted in the 11th round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros. Last summer, Clifford spent the majority of his campaign (105 games) at Double-A. During this stint, Clifford held a .243/.355/.494 line with a strong .848 OPS. He hit 24 home runs while swiping four bases. He was then bumped up to Triple-A, where he logged 34 games with a much lower .219/.359/.393 line with a .754 OPS. Clifford will likely need to find his footing at Triple-A during the opening months before making a strong push to join the major leagues.

The New York Mets have promoted first base prospect Ryan Clifford to Triple-A Syracuse, according to MiLB Central. Clifford was considered their No. 7-ranked prospect in their system prior to the promotion. The corner infielder has spent the entire season at Double-A. Through 105 games with Binghamton, Clifford posted a .243/.355/494 line with an .848 OPS. He tallied 18 doubles and launched an impressive 24 long balls while holding a 113:63 K:BB. During his first extended look at Double-A in 2024, Clifford held a lower .231/.359/.456 slash line with a .815 OPS. Fantasy managers should monitor his status at Triple-A, but it does not appear Clifford will be in the mix to join the MLB roster for the stretch run, as Pete Alonso is no danger to lose at-bats in the major leagues.

New York Mets prospect Ryan Clifford was named Eastern League Player of the Week after a dominant stretch at Double-A. The 21-year-old slugger batted .522 with four home runs and eight walks, showcasing his advanced power and plate discipline. On the season, Clifford is slashing .245/.367/.497 with 21 home runs, a 26.6% strikeout rate, and an impressive 15.5% walk rate. A former 11th-round pick in the 2022 draft, Clifford has rapidly climbed the Mets' farm system. With continued production, the first baseman/outfielder could be on the fast track to Triple-A later this summer.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford went 3-for-4 with two long balls, three RBI, and a walk during their contest against Double-A Reading on Wednesday evening. Clifford was able to snap a nine-game power skid in a big way with his second two-homer game of the campaign. During this nine-game slump, the former 11th-round pick posted a low .086/.200/.114 slash line with a double. Through 89 total games with Double-A this season, Clifford has posted a .235/.351/.476 line with an .827 OPS and 19 round-trippers. Last summer, Clifford made his Double-A debut and held a similar .231/.359/.456 line but just 18 long balls across a larger 98-game stint. If Clifford can continue to progress, he may be in the mix to earn a taste of Triple-A later this season.

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford clubbed a pair of home runs in a 2-for-6 day at the plate for Double-A Binghamton. The first was a three-run blast in the opening frame of the contest, and the other was a grand slam in the eighth inning. The 21-year-old has four home runs in his last five games and 17 on the year, now the owner of a .246/.363/.496 slash line with a .387 wOBA and 152 wRC+ through 79 games. The former 11th-round draft pick has an elevated 26.6 percent strikeout rate, but it is somewhat offset by a strong 15.3 percent walk rate, and so long as he continues to hit for power, there's a chance he could see some time at Triple-A later this year.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford has gone deep in back-to-back games at Double-A Binghamton. Over these two games, Clifford has gone 5-for-10 at the dish with three runs and five RBI. However, prior to this recent power surge, Clifford held a modest 0.80/.179/.080 slash line over his last eight contests. During this stretch, Clifford tallied just two hits (both singles). Through the first 27 games of the Double-A regular season, Clifford has held a .228/.330/.435 slash line with four doubles and five round-trippers. Last season, Clifford held a similar .231/.359/.456 slash line across 98 games with Double-A Binghamton. If Clifford can continue to find his power swing, he should be in the mix to join Triple-A in the coming weeks.

New York Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford went 2-for-3 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday evening against Double-A New Hampshire. This outing extended his current hitting streak to four games. During this four-game surge, Clifford has tallied at least two hits in all but one contest. Before this recent surge, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the system held an underwhelming .154/.333/.231 slash line with just two extra-base hits. Clifford spent most of the 2024 campaign with Double-A Binghamton, and fantasy managers should expect Clifford to be in contention to earn a promotion to Triple-A in the coming weeks if he continues this steady production. If he is able to earn an early call to Triple-A this summer, he could push for a second-half MLB debut.
