Early Life and Background
Ronny Mauricio was born on April 4, 2001, and holds Dominican nationality. He entered professional baseball as a teenager when the New York Mets signed him in July 2017, receiving a $2.1 million signing bonus, a team-record amount at the time.
Details on Mauricio’s family and formal education are not publicly documented in the provided sources. His early professional development came through the Mets’ international signing program and the organization’s minor league affiliates beginning in 2018.
Path to Baseball
Mauricio began his professional playing career in 2018 with assignments to the Gulf Coast League Mets and the Kingsport Mets, where he combined for a .273 batting average with three home runs and 35 RBIs over 57 games. Those first professional appearances established him as a contact-and-power prospect within the Mets’ system.
He advanced to full-season ball in 2019 with the Columbia Fireflies and was named a South Atlantic League All-Star after batting .268 with four home runs and 37 RBIs across 116 games. Mauricio did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season. In 2021 he split time between the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, producing 20 home runs, 64 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 108 games and earning a spot on the Mets’ 40-man roster on November 19, 2021.
Ronny Mauricio Career
Early Career (2018–2021)
Mauricio’s first professional season in 2018 showed promise as he adapted to stateside professional baseball with a .273 average over 57 games. In 2019, playing a full season for the Columbia Fireflies, he was recognized as a South Atlantic League All-Star and logged consistent at-bats across 116 games.
The lost 2020 minor league season paused many prospects’ timelines, but Mauricio re-emerged in 2021 with a breakout power season across two Class A-Advanced and Double-A affiliates, combining for twenty home runs and 64 RBIs. The Mets added him to their 40-man roster that November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Triple-A Breakthrough (2023)
Mauricio opened 2023 at Triple-A Syracuse, where he completed a full Triple-A slate of 116 games, hitting .292 with a .506 slugging percentage, 23 home runs, 71 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. Those numbers pushed him into major league consideration and led to a late-season promotion.
On September 1, 2023, Ronny Mauricio was promoted to the major leagues for the first time and made his debut against the Seattle Mariners. He finished the 2023 major league stint with a .248 batting average, two home runs, nine RBIs and seven stolen bases in 26 games.
Major League Debut & Development (2023–Present)
Mauricio’s first major league hit was a double off Logan Gilbert that registered an exit velocity of 117.3 miles per hour, the hardest-hit ball by a Mets player in more than two years and the hardest first career hit recorded since Statcast began tracking batted-ball speed. He recorded his first major league home run on September 12, 2023, a two-run, 440-foot shot off Ryne Nelson of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
After the 2023 winter season, Mauricio suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament while playing for Tigres del Licey and underwent surgery, leading the Mets to rule him out for the entire 2024 season. Following rehabilitation and a strong minor-league return, Mauricio was promoted back to the major leagues on June 3, 2025.
New York Mets Era (2023–Present)
Ronny Mauricio’s time with the New York Mets has combined rapid advancement with a significant injury setback. His Triple-A play in 2023 and his recovery assignment in 2025 showed power and on-base improvement: during a nine-game rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse in 2025 he slashed .515/.564/.818 with three home runs and a 1.382 OPS before his promotion to the big leagues.
Back with the Mets in 2025, Mauricio hit a 456-foot home run on June 7 off Germán Márquez and recorded his first career four-hit game on July 27 against the San Francisco Giants. He made 61 appearances for New York that season, finishing with a .226/.293/.369 line, six home runs, 10 RBIs and four stolen bases.
Playing Style and Strengths
Mauricio profiles as a right-handed-hitting infielder with a mix of power and speed. Evidence from his minor- and major-league performances shows above-average exit velocities on hard contact, kickoff power demonstrated by long homers in the majors, and the ability to contribute on the basepaths, as reflected in regular stolen-base totals in both the minors and the majors.
Notable Events and Milestones
Key milestones in Mauricio’s career include his 2017 international signing with the Mets for a $2.1 million bonus, a South Atlantic League All-Star selection in 2019, his 2023 major league debut and hardest-hit first career hit on record, his first major league home run on September 12, 2023, a torn ACL in December 2023, and a high-impact return to the Mets’ roster in June 2025 culminating in a 456-foot homer and his first four-hit major league game.

2025 Season Performance

Mauricio’s 2025 contributions included a long-distance home run on June 7 and his first four-hit major league game on July 27, both signals of regained strength and confidence at the plate. The season served as a key stepping stone as he worked to reestablish himself in the Mets’ infield plans.
