Former Florida Gators RHP Brandon Sproat is making quick work of the New York Mets’ farm system.

Sproat, in his first season of professional baseball following four seasons at the University of Florida, was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse Saturday.

Sproat opened the season at Single-A Brooklyn. There he made five starts and recorded a 1.07 ERA over 25.1 innings of work.

Upon being promoted to Double-A Binghamton, Sproat continued to excel. In 11 starts, his ERA is just 2.45 over 62.1 innings. He’s also shown outstanding control, striking out 77 and walking just 15. In his final outing for the Rumble Ponies, Sproat struck out 13 (11 in a row) in five innings of work.

In July, Sproat represented the Mets in the 2024 Futures Game. He pitched one scoreless inning, inducing a double-play following an error.

Syracuse is the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. The S-Mets play in the International League and are just one level from the majors. Many of the players Sproat will face in Triple-A have seen action (some significant) in the MLB.

Sproat played at Florida from 2020-23 and compiled a 19-8 record in his collegiate career. In his senior season, the Gators competed in the national championship series against LSU.
