Mets Farmhands in the Midwest League

Player Roster

Players who played for the New York Mets as members of Midwest League teams. This list includes all players and coaching staff members I can identify. There are almost certainly players missing from this list, as the available sources are known to be incomplete.

Players who played for the Mets in more than one season are listed for each season.

175 different players are listed on this page (22 of whom played in the majors, though not necessarily for the Mets), as are 10 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.

My intention is to include everyone who represented the Mets on an MWL diamond. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's likely that there are omissions and the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.
