2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat dominated High-A and Double-A hitters before hitting a wall at Triple-A in his first pro season after not pitching in 2023 after getting selected in the second round. He is known for his age (spent four years at Florida, turns 25 in September) fastball velocity (96.3 mph average in 2024, topped out at 101.5 mph) and plus changeup, although his fastball plays below its velocity due to mediocre shape. The 6-foot-3 righty also boasts an above-average sweeper and seldom-used curveball. His command/control is fringy, so he profiles as a high-strikeout starter who could be a WHIP liability early in his career. Sproat's K-BB% dipped from 26.7 percent at Double-A to 7.8 percent at Triple-A, while his WHIP spiked from 0.87 to 1.64. The 116.1 innings he threw last year were the most he'd ever thrown in a season, so it's possible he just wore down late in the season, and that explains his struggles at Triple-A. However, the caliber of hitter at Triple-A vs. the majors is night and day, so the fact we haven't seen Sproat master Triple-A yet is still a valid concern with regards to drafting him for 2025.

Promoted to Triple-A
PNew York Mets  AAA
August 3, 2024
The Mets promoted Sproat from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Sproat is coming off one of the best performances of his young career, striking out 13 batters -- including the final 11 he faced -- in Friday's 7-3 loss to Double-A New Hampshire. Over 11 starts with Binghamton, Sproat produced an impressive 2.45 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 77 punchouts over 62.1 innings. He'll now look to keep it up at the Triple-A level and put himself in consideration for a promotion to the Mets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Needs more time in minors?
PNew York Mets  AAA
October 28, 2024
According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Mets officials feel Sproat could use more "seasoning" in the minors before making his MLB debut.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander appeared to have an outside chance of debuting in late 2024 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB over 62.1 innings for Double-A Binghamton, though that momentum stalled since he had a 7.53 ERA in seven starts after being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse. Sproat is one of the organization's top prospects, but he's likely a longshot to crack the Opening Day roster.
