Nick Roselli, a standout from Binghamton University's baseball program, has been elevated to the Double-A level of the Eastern League, joining the Binghamton Rumble Ponies for tonight's matchup against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at Mirabito Stadium.
The promotion comes after a rapid ascent through the Mets' farm system, where the 11th-round pick of the 2024 draft posted a .349 average in his final college season and followed it with a .388 mark in 2024, showcasing both power and poise at the plate.
Having logged 16 games with the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones before his call-up, Roselli enters the starting lineup with a streak of hits in each of his last two appearances, bringing a career tally of 83 hits and 60 RBI in just 122 professional games.
His power numbers are equally impressive: 10 home runs and 29 extra-base hits in his third pro season, placing him among the top-10 all-time Binghamton players in average, home runs and slugging percentage.
A Milestone for the Program
Roselli's ascent marks a historic milestone, as he becomes the first Bearcat to appear for the Mets' Double-A affiliate in the downtown stadium, joining a short list of former Bearcats now competing at higher levels of the minor leagues.
The arrival of the 22-year-old energizes the local fan base and underscores the effectiveness of Binghamton University's baseball development pipeline, which has already produced several players competing within the Mets organization.
Future Faces of the Franchise
Alongside Roselli, right-hander Ben Anderson is making his own mark on the Mets' system, while catcher Zach Rogacki, a 2025 Colorado draft pick, is working his way back from injury after a strong performance at Single-A Fresno.
Both players embody the depth of talent emerging from the Binghamton baseball ecosystem, suggesting that the city will continue to supply quality prospects to the major leagues.
