The Mets have placed top prospect Elian Peña on the Domestic Reserve List, setting him up for a stateside debut in 2026. The 18-year-old infielder signed for a record $5 million and rebounded from a tough start to finish his season with a .292 average, 24 extra-base hits, and 21 stolen bases in 55 DSL games. Ranked as the Mets’ No. 9 prospect, Peña is noted for his strong bat-to-ball skills and potential power, drawing comparisons to All-Star Rafael Devers. With a successful season, Peña could rise significantly in prospect rankings.
