Post Draft: MM's Top 25- #16 RHP Rainy Lara

Now that the draft is over, Mack's Mets will be reviewing the performances of our organizational Top 25 prospects and re-ranking them based on their individual performances, perceived place on the depth chart, and recent draft signings.

Look to the right of our page to find the current rankings that we have done already

Mack's Mets #16 organizational prospect is......

#16 RHP Rainy Lara (LR: #19)
Bats: R Throws: R
Height: 6' 4" Weight: 180 lb
Acquired: 2009 international signing, Dominican Republic

2013: (A/A+) 6-5, 1.99 ERA, 1.8 BB/9, 8.4 K/9, 1.059 WHIP
2012: (SS-A) 8-3, 2.91 ERA, 1.6 BB/9, 10.2 K/9, 0.956 WHIP
2011: (R) 1-2, 2.22 ERA, 2.6 BB/9, 6.7 K/9, 1.233 WHIP

Rainy Lara has been excellent this year and is making good progress through the organization's minor leagues levels. While his numbers are made better by his excellent starts in Savannah, his performances in the much tougher Florida State League are nothing to sneeze at either. A 2.70 ERA along with an almost 3:1 K:BB ratio are darn good stats. As we've said in previous posts about him, there is still room for projectability as he grows older and fills out his nice pitcher's frame. I don't anticipate him going anywhere else though as he seems destined for a stint in Binghamton next year if he continues to rack up the innings in St. Lucie.
