Background:

Catcher, Bats Right, Throws Right, DOB 4/3/1997, 6'1", 210, Hamilton, OH, USA. Signed by the New York Mets 2018 June Amateur Draft - Round: 24, Pick: 6, Overall: 710.  Eligible for the Major League version of the 2021/22 Rule 5 draft (currently postponed due to the lockout).

Along with Nick Meyer, Hayden Senger is considered one of the top defensive catching prospects in the Mets system.

After a torrid 4 game streak - 7 for 13 - 539/.667/.615 - Hayden was called up to Syracuse on 6/2/22.

Last year, after excelling at Brooklyn in 11 games, 13 for 43, 2 HRs, 4 RBIs - .302/.362/.605 - .966 OPS, he was promoted to Binghamton going 46 for 181, 3 HRs, 10 RBIs - .254/.337/.387 - .723 OPS in 50 games.  

To get more playing time he was one of the 8 players sent to the Arizona Fall League going 6 for 31 in 11 games, 0 HR, 0 RBIs, .194/.375/.226 - .601 OPS.  He was not added to the Mets' 40 Man roster in November and will be eligible for the Major League portion of Rule 5 Draft which will held after the Lockout is over.  

In 2021, I was surprised that he did not start more for Binghamton as he essentially split time with Nick Meyer.  I think both pf these catchers need to play everyday to develop.  I would have started one in Syracuse and one in Binghamton.  

In 2022, it has not gotten any easier.  Francisco Alvarez starts the majority of games in Binghamton.  However, Hayden's recent hot bat has given him regular time be it as a DH or backup catcher. Syracuse Mets Catcher Nick Dini is currently on the West Coast Taxi squad which may be why Hayden was called to Syracuse.  However, give his recent offense success, he might stick with Syracuse and be that much closer to Flushing.

Mets.com has Hayden as the #20 Mets Prospect.

Prospects 1500 has Hayden as the #22 Prospect.

Amazing Avenue recently had Hayden as their #11 Prospect: "While his offense is still developing, Senger shines behind the plate. Thanks to quick, above-average pop times, he can get out of the crouch during stolen attempts quickly, cleanly transfer the ball, and fire to the waiting fielder accurately."
