Rackel was signed as an undrafted player right after this year’s draft and was assigned to the GCL Mets.
From http://www.lamarcardinals.com/: Trey Rackel is a 6-2 right-handed combo pitcher and infielder who is in his sophomore season at Angelina Junior College. He was named to the Region XIV All-Conference team and invited to the Texas Junior College All-Star Game following his 9-2, 3.20 ERA freshman season. He attended Mayde Creek HS in Houston where he was an All-District 19-5A pick.
From http://www.dibollfreepress.com/: There's a good chance Angelina College sophomore pitcher Trey Rackel will have every opportunity to ply his skills at the mythical next level of collegiate baseball. He's been a mainstay in the Roadrunner pitching rotation all season. Yet it's hard to imagine Rackel ever pitching a bigger game than he did on Saturday in Carthage. With the Roadrunners needing a single win against Panola to clinch the fourth and final playoff berth in the Region XIV East Zone, Rackel spun a real gem against the high-powered Ponies, allowing just one run over eight innings of work.
He impressed throughout the season, converting to relief and producing stats of: 2-2, 3.38, in 15 appearances. He also had 26-K in 26.2-IP, while walking only 11. He was rewarded at the end of the season by being promoted to St. Lucie, where he pitched a scoreless inning on September 2nd.
Rackel loves to pitch at home… 0.56 ERA… which means he doesn’t at away games… 7.59.
Forecast (written Sept 09): It’s always a hoot when an undrafted kid does well. The Mets actually found three of them that made this list this year, and though it’s impossible to tell how far they will go, we can safely say that Rackel deserves a bump, at least to Kingsport, but probably Brooklyn.
