2013 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 2013.

The Astros drafted Mark Appel #1 but the Cubs made out better at the #2 overall pick with Kris Bryant.  Overall, not the deepest draft that year.

The Mets picked Dominic Smith in the 1^st round, 11^th overall.  They took Luis Guillorme in the 10^th round, Jeff McNeil in the 12^th round, and Anthony Kay in the 29^th round (but he did not sign and was drafted again in 2016).    

Jeff McNeil's emergence as a very valuable "Swiss Army Knife" All-Star, makes this draft with Dominic Smith a winner as that's how highly I think of both of those players.  I thought for a long time that Champ Stuart could be a good speedy CF for the Mets but it never happened.  

The full Mets list is below. 

Here are some other notable picks:

1^st Round: #5 Clint Frazier, Indians, Outfielder; #9 Austin Meadows Pirates; #13 Hunter Renfroe, Padres, Outfielder; #16 J. P. Crawford, Phillies, Shortstop; #17 Tim Anderson, White Sox, Shortstop;

Compensatory Round: # 32 Aaron Judge, Yankees, Outfielder;    

Competitive Balance Round A: #39 Corey Knebel, Tigers, Right-handed pitcher;

4^th Round: #124 Cody Bellinger, Dodgers,First baseman/outfielder;

5^th Round: #161 Bobby Wahl, Athletics, Right-handed pitcher;

6^th Round: #184 Jacob Rhame, Dodgers, Right-handed pitcher;

7^th Round: #224 Nick Rumbelow, Yankees, Right-handed pitcher;

8^th Round: #249 Trey Mancini, Orioles, First baseman;

22^nd Round: #665 Luke Voit, Cardinals, Catcher;

27^th Round: #819 Donnie Hart, Orioles, Left-handed pitcher;
