New Met - RP - Clint Everts


Clint Everts  -  8-10-84  6-2  170  R  R  Cypress Falls (Tx) H.S.


Draft:  1st round (5th overall) - 2002 -  Montreal (picked by Omar)

Futures Game Participant USA 2004... High School All-American 2002...

62nd Top MLB Prospect 2003

58th Top MLB Prospect 2004

7 year minor year career with Washington:  23-32, 4.29, 1.52,  49 starts, 115 relief appearances, 409.1-IP, 399-K, 214-BB

Played for the Savannah Sand Gnats in 2003

-this could be a big-time steal this year... Everts was a killer out of high school who was converted to a reliever after a ho-hum SP role in the Nats minor league system.  Big time strikeout machine., but the big thing is he is peaking just when the Mets get their hands on him.  In 2009, he pitched at three levels and combined for stats of: 8-1, 1.65 in 44 relief appearances, 60.0-IP, 68-Ks, 26-BB... has had trouble with the walks, but what a great AAA pick, he's still young, and he may even make the Queens pen this year.

Great move, Omar.
