Editor's Note: For the remainder of the regular season, Mets360 will be a free site, one open to everyone. They’ve been a membership site since January of 2021 and will be so once again in October. So, if you like the Mets and great Mets analysis, check out the site this month.

The Mets began the year with four players on the cusp of the majors ready to make an impact. What they did not begin the year with was doubt about who was the Top Prospect in the organization. Francisco Alvarez had the highest ceiling and has proven up to the task of making the next step into being a major league catcher. For 2024 the title of Top Prospect is harder to put your finger on.
The Contenders:
Kevin Parada, C (AA): The most obvious choice for Top Prospect is the internal option. A player whom some fans felt made Alvarez expendable. Parada’s offensive chops seem to be legitimate but the likeliness of the Mets holding onto both Parada and Alvarez is pretty low. For fans who think Parada will simply shift to another position, you may want to re-think as Parada’s lack of footspeed won’t do him favors in left field and he isn’t likely to be a power replacement on the level of Pete Alonso at first.
