Post Draft: MM's Top 25- #21 SS Amed Rosario


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 #21 organizational prospect is......

#21 SS Amed Rosario
Bats: R Throws: R
Height: 6' 2" Weight: 170 lb
Acquired: 2012 International Signing, Dominican Republic

2013: (R) .212/.268/.303, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 0 SB (0%), 5 BB, 16 K

Amed Rosario was considered the top 16 year old prospect from the Dominican Republic last year and Sandy Alderson paid him like one with a $1.75MM bonus deal to get him to play for the Mets. Rather than playing in the Dominican Summer League, the team brought him stateside at age 17 and gave him an aggressive assignment to Kingsport while others his age toil in the Gulf Coast League. As with most 17 year olds, he is EXTREMELY raw. The batting line doesn't look pretty, the K/BB rate is bad, and he's commited 8 errors in 16 games. However it's far to early to draw a conclusion on him so I defer my opinion to fact that  Alderson and company wouldn't give him all that money for nothing.
