2021 MLB Draft - Mets Pick # 20.592 - SS - Justin Guerrera (UPDATED) - More info + Mack's Spin

 


Justin Guerrera


Fairfield        Junior        5-9        185


Mack's spin - 

Guerrera may be a shortstop, but he was drafted as a pure athlete hitting.

This is the guy that epitimizes "the best athletes play shortstop: theory. 

Tons of pop and I expect the Mets to experiment with this kid on different positions.

Could be a sleeper.


2021 stat line - 43-G, 162-AB, .340, 13-HR

Guerrera, who Currier said is "one of the best all-round athletes I have coached," tied Fairfield's program single-season record with 13 home runs in 2021, according to the university. A shortstop, Guerrera was also chosen as a First Team All-MAAC player.

Guerrera hit .340 with a 1.094 OPS and 45 RBIs, tying Fairfield’s single-season record with 13 home runs, capped off by a mammoth three-run, go-ahead homer against Arizona State in the NCAA Regionals.

Hey, Mack. I see that the Angels picked 20 pitchers out of 20 picks.

Any comment?
