A car crash in the Dominican Republic has claimed the life of a former Mets prospect. He was young at the time. The SUV that Encarnacion was driving fell off a bridge and crashed into a ditch below it. According to multiple reports, the former outfielder died at a local hospital after surviving the initial impact. A Mets academy executive confirmed that Encarnacion passed away. He was with us for a year. He used his scholarship that the team gave him when he was a student. Encarnacion played for the Dominican Summer League team after signing a minor league contract with the Mets. He had one home run, 10 steals and a.248 batting average in 35 games. He was let go by the team. I am sad.
