Background:

Carlos Rincon, OF/DH, Bats Right, Throws Right, 6'3"; 190 pounds; DOB 10/14/1997 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Signed by the Dodgers on July 2, 2015 as a non-drafted free agent for $350,000. Traded to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Billy McKinney on July 21, 2021. Rule 5 Draft eligible.

The Mets acquired Carlos Rincon to provide some right handed outfield power in their Minor League system and he did not disappoint.  In 38 games in Binghamton last year, he hit 10 homers, 29 RBIs slashing .269/.319/.537 - .856 OPS.  His overall 22 Home Runs with the Dodgers and Mets Minor league teams puts him 3rd among Mets Minor League Players (Mark Vientos 25, Francisco Alvarez 24) just ahead of Ronnie Mauricio (20).  His overall 77 RBIs outpaced all Mets Minor Leaguers last year besting Alvarez who had 70 and Mauricio and Jose Peroza who each had 64.  

Carlos has shown power pretty much since the Dodgers signed him and he hit 13 homers, 1.044 OPS, 52 games in the 2016 DSL.

Also, in June 2017 he "blasted 38 home runs — including 20 in the final round — to win the Midwest League Home Run Derby...[beating] Lansing Lugnuts third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the final round."  Also competing in that derby - Fernando Tatis Jr.  

Mets.com has him as the #25 Prospect. "Rincon has already impressed Mets officials with his power potential from the right side...As is typical of power hitters, Rincon does have an aggressive streak at the plate, and high strikeout rates have typically kept him from showing an even average hit tool. Rincon is a typical, bat-first left fielder, albeit one with a strong enough arm to pick up assists from the grass."

#14 Prospect on Tom Brennan of Mack's Mets list. "big power, 22 HRs and 77 RBIs in 2021.  Potential to be a decent big league power bat."



In 2022, I project Carlos to start at Syracuse as part of a one of the most prospect driven AAA outfields the Mets have seen in a long time.  Syracuse Hitting coach, Joel Chimelis, did wonders for Khalil Lee last year.  I think Carlos will also benefit by working with him.  Some say that Carlos projects as a Right Handed hitter off the bench.  He has a great arm and can play defense.  With Khalil Lee and Nick Plummer both Left Handed Hitters and Jake Mangum a Switch Hitter, there may yet be a place for Carlos in Flushing on a regular basis in the very near future.
