Mitch Voit Has Put Himself on the Fast Track to New York

The New York Mets have a strong nucleus of up-and-coming contributors, and while some have already debuted (Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing), others like Mitch Voit are garnering momentum in the lower levels of the minor leagues. Voit has the tools to be a part of the next line of risers, and his recent performance implies he could already be well on his way. Let’s dive into his overall skillset and promising trajectory.

Mitch Voit's Path to New York

Voit is the Mets’ sixth-ranked prospect, per Grand Central Mets. The 21-year-old stands at 6 feet tall, weighs 201 pounds and New York picked him 38th overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. Every single one of his tools is at least a 50-grade on the MLB Pipeline 20-to-80 scouting scale. 

He used to be a two-way player, just like Nolan McLean and Carson Benge did. So far, a pair of seasons into his professional career (and embarking on his first full campaign), he has impressed and seems to be trending in the right direction.

Ascending Quickly

The middle infielder didn’t waste any time getting into the professional ranks after being drafted, as he played 22 games in Low-A St. Lucie to round out last year’s minor league season. The former Michigan Wolverine slashed .235/.343/.292 with a home run, eight runs batted in and a ridiculous 20 stolen bags in his brief but impactful stint in Low-A.

This was enough to push him to High-A with the Brooklyn Cyclones, where Voit has improved in nearly every offensive category. His slash line is up to .240/.351/.408 through 68 contests with the Cyclones. July 9 was arguably one of his best showings, going 2-for-2 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored, two walks and five total bases. 

He’s Got Power, He’s Got Speed

Voit has shown plenty of power through just past the halfway point of his first full MiLB season, throttling 11 home runs and 11 doubles for 22 extra-base hits (averaging one about every third game). His pull-air rate is 14.8 percent, good enough to nestle him in the 63rd percentile according to TJ Stats.

His swing decisions and overall contact ability have been promising too, as his 68.6 percent zone swing rate is above league average (63rd percentile), and he’s whiffing only 26.5 percent of the time, less often than the average minor league hitter. As a result, he’s only striking out 20.3 percent of the time (78th percentile) and is identifying pitches well as he elevates up the Mets’ minor league ladder. 

Voit’s speed, slotted as a 60-grade on MLB Pipeline’s scale, has also been a spectacle. The former Big Ten standout has 30 stolen bases through 66 games, as he’d be on pace for over 60 in a full season. 

Overall Trajectory

When can we expect someone like Voit to ultimately debut at Citi Field? Considering he was a three-year college athlete who got selected just on the fringe of the first round, it shouldn’t be longer than 2-3 years in total. His arm is a 60-grade tool, the power numbers are climbing, and his awareness on the basepaths is only improving as the competition grows more fierce. 

Francisco Lindor is a roadblock, but only at shortstop. Nothing should be standing between Voit and Queens at second base once he's ready for The Show.
