Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

After a lengthy hiatus, we’re back! Things will be a bit different going forward, including a biweekly release schedule as we try to keep things fresh and interesting for both ourselves and listeners.

This week, we review podcast-relevant news from Spring Training, including Brett Baty’s strong performance (technically not a prospect, but still a product of player development), questions about Luisangel Acuña’s attitude, and some positive developments from Jonah Tong and Matthew Allan.

Next, we discuss our bold predictions for this season. It’s a sign of the direction of the franchise that we were overwhelmingly positive instead of fairly pessismistic as we usually are.

Finally, we bring up a new segment; three guys we’re each interested in following this season for one reason or another. We’ll keep an extra close eye on these guys throughout the season beyond what our usual coverage will be just to see what develops.

As always, you can listen or subscribe to all of our Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show. It really helps! And you can find us on Spotify, or listen wherever you get podcasts.
