Mets Draft - Pick 10-294 - RHP - Brendan Girton - Oklahoma

 

LINK  - 

For their last pick of Day 2, the Mets went with Oklahoma right-hander Brendan Girton in Round 10 ($184.3K slot value). Girton was an in-conference transfer as he went to the Sooners from Texas Tech. He showed a good strikeout total in 2024 (11.9 strikeouts per 9 innings), but his problem was the walks (31 in 35.2 innings to go with 9 hit-by-pitches). 

Girton is another pitcher who will be mainly a reliever, but if he can figure out the command, he has the pitches to be successful.

Round 10, No. 293 Overall 

Brendan Girton, RHP, Oklahoma 

Notable Skill: One of the older players in this year’s Draft, Girton amassed 129 innings over four years in college. He struck out 47 batters over 35 2/3 innings as a redshirt junior, despite significant control issues. 

Fun Fact: Girton played three seasons at Texas Tech before transferring to Oklahoma. 

 

Mack – 

Girton throws a very hard mid-80s slider, but he needs to work in the labs to get it under control… 

A senior that, in my opinion, is a long shot.
