Mack Ade – Updated Look at Projected Mets Pick at #11

“Charles” brought up an interesting question earlier this week which made me realize that I need to update just what the Mets are looking at when the 11^th pick comes up in June.

First… there still are some locks in the first ten picks.

Indiana State LHP Sean Manaea, Loganville HS (GA) OF Clint Frazier, Stanford RHP Mark Appel, Grayson HS (GA) OF Austin Meadows, and Arkansas RHP Ryne Stanek are still going to be gone before the Mets pick comes up.

But… add the name of Oklahoma RHP Jonathan Gray. Some have Gray as high as 3^rd overall after producing stats so far this year of: 5-G, 4-1, 1.51, 39-K, 8-BB, 35.2-IP.

Frankly, there shouldn’t be another outfielder chosen until the Mets picks; however, there is a good chance that San Diego 3B Kris Bryant will be picks and he is projected to be moved to a corner outfield position.

The rest of the names being tossed around for those four picks are North Carolina 3B Collin Moran, Vanderbilt LHP Kevin Ziomek, Mississippi RHP Bobby Wahl, Jacksonville RHP Chris Anderson, Kentwood HS (WA) catcher Reese McGuire, and Bryant.

This would leave a very talented outfield pool of Samford’s Phillip Ervin (.373/.505/.747, 7-HR), Red Wing HS (MN) Ryan Boldt, Fresno State’s Aaron Judge (.297/.388/.500, 3-HR), Vanderbilt’s Tony Kemp (.442/.542/.584, 0-HR), and UCLA’s Austin Wilson (injured).
