The Mets have officially added Jonah Tong to the active roster ahead of his big-league debut Friday night against the Marlins on SNY.
Tong dominated across two levels of the minors before receiving the highly-anticipated call.
The 22-year-old top prospect pitched to a 1.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP while striking out a whopping 179 batters over 22 starts between Double-A and Triple-A.
He’ll now look to carry that success to the Big Apple down the stretch.
In a corresponding roster move, right-hander Kevin Herget has been optioned to Syracuse.
Herget threw well in his lone appearance back in the majors, striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings at the backend of Thursday’s loss to Miami.
He's now pitched to a strong 1.13 ERA in just four games with the Mets this year.
New York cleared a spot on the 40 Man Friday by sending Ty Adcock outright to Syracuse.
