Mets Pick #34 - 2B Duke Kinamon - Stanford

NYFS -

2B Duke Kinamon  R/R, 9/4/96 - Stanford Univ (JR)   5'10", 190 lbs

Kinamon missed 2018 with an injury. He has not hit for much power as a collegiate player and has some holes in his swing. His best asset is speed. He’s a junior so he might re-enter the draft next year and bump up his stock. (groin injury)
