Mets prospect Ryan Clifford had himself quite the week down in Double-A. It was so good, in fact, that it earned him Eastern League Player of the Week honors.
So how good was he?
In six games against Reading, the 22-year-old tortured them for a triple slash line of .522/.645/1.130 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and eight walks — good for a ridiculous 1.775 OPS which led all of MiLB.
Clifford's fantastic week at the plate is part of a great month of July in which he's hit eight home runs with 25 RBI. He now has 21 home runs and 67 RBI on the season, both of which lead Double-A.
Since joining Binghamton in May of last year, the lefty-swinging first baseman has mashed 39 home runs in 191 games.
Playing alongside top prospects like Jett Williams and Carson Benge, Clifford has been one of the top run producers in the Mets' farm system since they acquired him from the Houston Astros in the Justin Verlander deal in 2023 which also included Drew Gilbert.
This is Clifford's second time winning the weekly award this season after winning it in early May.
