Binghamton’s Tyler Stuart Earns Eastern League Pitcher of the Week Honor


The Eastern League has named Binghamton Rumble Ponies’, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets, Tyler Stuart as its Pitcher of the Week for August 21-27.

Tyler Stuart’s solid week nets him some hardware.

Stuart, who is ranked 17th of the Mets’ prospect watch list, tossed six scoreless innings with striking out six and not permitting one walk, while surrendering just two hits. The 6-foot-9, 250-pound hurler, in dominant fashion, retired the final 12 batters that he faced in order and only allowed two baserunners throughout his entire start.

Stuart, a sixth-round selection in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Southern Miss., earned his third Double-A win and seventh overall victory of the year. The 23-year-old righty has posted a 7-2 record and a 2.20 ERA with 112 strikeouts/33 walk ratio between two stops, Brooklyn (High-A) and Binghamton, in 110.2 innings of work in 21 game starts so far this season.
