MLB Standouts From Last Week
Over the past seven days, the league saw a top-prospect promotion in New York, a distinct power surge from a rookie outfielder in Philadelphia, and continued veteran production in Minnesota. Here is the breakdown of their recent performances and season trajectories.
A.J. Ewing (New York Mets)
💎 Ebay Auction to Monitor💎: 2023 Bowman Draft AJ Ewing True Orange Auto /25 PSA 9
Weekly Performance: Promoted to the major leagues on Tuesday, Ewing went 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs scored, two RBIs, and a stolen base in his MLB debut against the Detroit Tigers. He became the first player in Mets franchise history to hit a triple in his major league debut. On Thursday, he hit his first career major league home run, a 405-foot solo blast recorded at an exit velocity of 110.5 mph. He’s been a much needed spark plug for an underperforming squad

Across 132 minor league plate appearances in 2026, he hit .339/.447/.514 with 2 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases in 18 attempts, posting a 16.7% walk rate and a 15.2% strikeout rate.
