NextImg:Mets prospects Nolan McLean and Carson Benge quit being two-way players to speed up their big league goals

Josh Holliday didn’t have to give it too much thought. He would’ve been more shocked if his two former stars were not thriving as professional baseball players.

So to see both Nolan McLean and Carson Benge succeed in the minor leagues with the Mets was only the next logical step for the former Oklahoma State standouts.

“They’re both studs,” the Cowboys head coach told The Post. “There’s not much Nolan McLean can’t do, whether it was throw a football, shoot a basketball, hit a baseball, pitch a baseball, catch a baseball, just a remarkable world-class athlete.

“[Benge] is a unique player. Very rarely in college baseball [do] you see a hitter collect as many hits to the opposite field as they do the pull side, and over Carson’s career, he was pretty close to having a balanced number of base hits to all quadrants of the field. That’s just a rare hitter.”
