"He's elevated his prospect status considerably in 2025 with a dominant showing out of the bullpen across three minor league levels. The former Georgia Bulldog has tossed a combined 54 innings with a 2.17 ERA - including a 1.69 mark in 32 frames at the Triple-A level. Ross has fanned just under 36% of his opponents this season and kept nearly 55% of the batted balls against him on the ground."
"Listed at 6'5″ and 251 pounds, Ross is a prototypical flamethrowing reliever. He's averaged 96.8 mph on his four-seamer this season and can run the pitch up into triple digits. He complements that fiery heater with a splitter and cutter that both sit just under 90 mph, a slider that sits 87.5 mph and a seldom-used curveball in the low-80s. MLB.com ranks Ross 20th among Mets farmhands."
"Ross underwent Tommy John surgery during his draft season at Georgia and needed a revision of that procedure in 2023. He only pitched one inning in the minors in 2024 and has all of 55 professional innings under his belt to date. However, due to his status as a college draftee who's now been in professional ball for three full seasons, he'd be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft this winter."
Ross, a 25-year-old 13th-round pick from 2022 and former Georgia Bulldog, dominated the minors in 2025 across three levels. He has thrown 54 combined innings with a 2.17 ERA and a 1.69 mark in 32 Triple-A frames, striking out nearly 36% while inducing ground balls on about 55% of batted balls. Command is a concern, with a 14.7% walk rate (17.3% in Triple-A). Listed at 6'5″ and 251 pounds, Ross averages a 96.8 mph four-seamer that can reach triple digits and mixes splitter, cutter, slider and occasional curve. He underwent Tommy John surgery and a revision, has 55 professional innings, and will be Rule 5-eligible, making a 40-man roster addition likely.
