Joe DeMayo SNY.TV: What to expect from Mets prospect Luisangel Acuna in 2024. Joe predicts that Luisangel will start 2024 in Syracuse and pointed out out how his numbers dipped last year after joing the Mets organization - "Prior to joining the Mets organization Acuña was having a strong campaign for Frisco with a slash line of .315/.377/.453 (.830 OPS). Although some of those numbers were aided by a .381 BABIP which insinuates he had a level of good luck. His baseline stats with Double-A Binghamton were not nearly as good with a .243/.317/.304 slash line, albeit with a much lower .288 BABIP. "
