2012 Draft Recap

As we head towards the 2020 MLB Draft, we are going to detail the last ten years of Mets drafts.  Today, we look at 2012.

The Astros drafted Carlos Correa #1 and after has put a 24.5 WAR in 5 seasons.  I am sure the Astros are very happy with this pick. 

The Mets picked Gavin Cecchini in the first round, 12^th pick overall.  Gavin was signed as a minor league free agent by the Arizona Diamondbacks and was released last week as part of the D-Backs release of 62 minor leaguers.  

The Mets also drafted Kevin Plawecki in the supplemental 1^st round, Corey Oswalt in the 7^th round, Tomas Nido in the 8^th round, Paul Sewald in the 10^th round, and Chris Flexen in the 14^th round.
