Buried Treasure - Mock Draft

#12 - New York MetsTrey Williams

Position: 3B
School: Valencia HS (California)
Throws: R; Bats: R
Measurables: 6'1, 210
DOB: 03/09/1994

The Mets are a mess. Financially and ownership-wise who knows exactly what is going to happen. On the baseball side of things, what is clear is that the Mets were unable to retain Jose Reyes and so a rebuild is probably on. Carlos Beltran netted Zach Wheeler last year at the trade deadline and then the Mets drafted Brandon Nimmo. Those two, along with Matt Harvey give the Mets some high-upside talent in the minor leagues. Add Trey Williams, a potential all-star at 3B with a great bat and a great glove, and the Mets farm system will begin to look very healthy. As an aside, I think the Mets should try to trade David Wright while he still has value, along with entertaining the idea of moving guys like Ruben Tejada, Jon Niese and even Ike Davis.

Anyway, back to Trey Williams. Williams is athletic, but his stocky build makes him a candidate for 3B rather than the OF or SS. That same build is indicative Williams's power, which is impressive. Williams combines that raw, muscular power with elite bat speed that should allow him to be a premium homerun threat as a pro. Williams also has an advanced approach for a high schooler that should allow him to be a complete hitter. The kid isn't a slouch in the field either. Williams has quick reactions and plenty of arm that should allow him to be an above-average or better defensive 3B. Glove and bat, Williams has quite the impressive package and should be a welcome addition to any farm system.
