Ryan Clifford’s mammoth home run on Sunday has earned him a spot on MLB.com’s All-Spring Breakout First Team.


Clifford, who is Joe DeMayo’s No. 4 prospect in the Mets' system, made quite the impression against the Washington Nationals’ top prospects by making quite the impression on the batter’s eye in dead center.


Measured at 449 feet and 106 MPH off the bat, Clifford’s two-run home run to dead center off of lefty Jackson Kent gave the Mets a 4-0 lead.


Clifford, who has the ability to play both first base and in the outfield, split his time last year between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. In 31 games at Brooklyn, he hit just one home run, as the notorious winds coming off the ocean beyond right field drastically cut into his power numbers. As evidence, in his 98 games with the Rumble Ponies, he hit 18 home runs.


Clifford may still be a season or two away from his MLB debut, but it’s clear that his raw power makes him one of the most exciting prospects in the Mets system.
