Draft 14 – Derek Fisher, Michael Conforto, Mex Pentacost, Kel Johnson

1-24-14 - Derek Fisher would be filling a need for the Mets, as he would give the system an outfielder with power who could potentially move quickly through the team's farm system. Fisher is an outfielder for the University of Virginia who has the tools of a stud corner outfielder, but those tools have yet to translate on the field. In 2013, Fisher recorded an .888 OPS and hit only seven home runs—solid numbers but not indicative of his raw talent. Despite the lack of home runs, Fisher has plenty of raw power that makes scouts salivate at his future home run potential. Another quality that could attract the Mets to Fisher is his patient approach at the plate, a trait the Mets preach to their young prospects. While his patience is enticing, Fisher still has some swing-and-miss in his approach. As Mets fans have witnessed with Ike Davis, power hitters can be supremely frustrating when they aren't making contact. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1934895-4-prospects-the-new-york-mets-could-target-in-the-2014-mlb-draft/page/3

1-20-14 – PG Preseason College All-Americans – Outfield - Michael Conforto, Oregon State - 2013 Stats: .328 AVG, 14 2B, 1 3B, 11 HR, 47 RBI, 41 BB, 47 SO, 6 SB There are only a couple of hitters in college baseball that would be more feared than Conforto. Conforto is a pure hitter and has advanced skills in other areas, too. Conforto has an elite arm in left field, and offensively, he led the Beavers last season with big-time power despite hitting in a home ballpark that typically isn’t conducive to amazing power numbers. Conforto has a stocky/compact frame and is expected to have a productive spring as the nation’s No. 17 overall prospect. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9294

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 11. Toronto Blue Jays — Max Pentecost, C, Kennesaw State - The Blue Jays receive this pick for failing to come to terms with their 2013 first round pick, Phil Bickford. Maybe the highest riser in the draft so far, Pentecost is perhaps the best catching prospect in a class weak on them. Even if he doesn’t stick behind the plate, his offensive potential and athleticism make him first-round material. The 6’-1” right-hander was the MVP of the Cape Cod League after hitting .346 over 35 games with six home runs, 29 RBI and five stolen bases. He also drew 16 walks to 22 strikeouts, showing off a solid approach at the plate. Many believe the power will continue to develop. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
