Mets 2025 Draft Review: Mitch Voit's Updated Scouting Profile One Year Later

New York Mets prospect Mitch Voit is showing some promise in High-A Brooklyn with the Cyclones. While it’s been a rough start to the season for the big-league ball club, their young nucleus could be a sign of brighter days ahead. Today, we’ll dive into what separates Voit from most prospects and when to expect his big league debut.

Mitch Voit's Updated Mets Scouting Report

Voit is a 6-foot, 201 lb middle infielder and the eighth-ranked prospect in the Mets pipeline, per GrandCentralMets.com. He was the team’s first-round draft pick last summer, going 38th overall after playing three years for the Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten. The speedy right-handed hitter was a two-way talent his first two years of college, chalking up a similar profile to recent Mets prospect graduates Nolan McLean and Carson Benge. 

However, Voit had internal brace surgery in the summer of 2024 and decided to go the same route as Benge by specializing as a hitter. Channeling that focus on just one side of the game helped Voit’s hitting, as he logged a .346 batting average and .668 slugging percentage with 14 home runs in 56 games with Michigan. After his selection in last year’s draft, Voit wasted no time to get professional reps, as he played 22 contests for the Single-A St. Lucie Mets to cut his teeth. 

Voit's 60-Grade Run Tool

The first aspect of Voit’s game that jumps off of the page is his speed. The 60-grade run tool was on full display last year, as he stole 20 bases in 22 contests and has 43 swipes in 74 total minor-league contests so far. After getting caught just once in the Florida State League last year, it’s clear that Voit has a combination of raw speed and the ability to read a pitcher’s cadence to perfection. While the 21-year-old has been getting most of his work in at second base heading into this year, the speed could come in handy at the shortstop position when it comes to chasing down a ball deep in the hole.

Another one of Voit’s strengths is that he’s just a pure athlete. While he may not pitch anymore, he contorted his body and prepared like a pitcher for so long, he’s become more athletic and is used to tweaking his motion. If he needs to fix something in his batting stance, swing path or something else with his fundamentals needs to change, this is someone who has been toying with his game twofold until very recently. 

Pristine Discipline

The discipline also jumps off of the page for Voit. It’s one thing to be naturally athletic or to build up strengths within a skillset, but Voit is drawing walks at a near-10% clip this season. He’s standing at 49 punchouts to 22 walks in his first 237 plate appearances this year, giving him another path to get his chaos-creating speed on the basepaths. If this plate discipline trend stands as he elevates up the Mets’ minor-league system, his floor will rise as a result.

Outlook with Mets

Voit may only be in High-A, but it’s fair to ask when he’ll ultimately debut in the major leagues. The 21-year-old is projected, per MLB pipeline, to get into the big leagues in 2028. I’d say he’s in line for a late 2027, early 2028 arrival if the power develops. The plate discipline and speed are there; now it’s just about generating some more hard contact to round out what’s already a very impressive skillset.
