Round 12, Pick No. 353: RHP Ethan Lanthier, Kansas
Lanthier had a 4.54 ERA in 20 relief appearances, while striking out 42 this year.

Relief pitcher Ethan Lanthier was selected by the New York Mets in the 12th round with the 353rd overall pick. Lanthier appeared in 20 games this past season, and was credited with a 4-0 record while posting a 4.54 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP and held batters to a .216 average.

Lanthier didn’t have huge expectations coming into the year, but he sure has exceeded them. He entered the summer as a Division II reliever who had problems throwing strikes, but has since transformed himself into a legitimate prospect. He was consistently low-90s with his fastball this spring, but came out of the gate touching 96 MPH with reasonably good shape.
The difference maker for him has been his slider. He’s been working with the Hyannis development staff since he arrived to improve his arsenal, which has led to much harder bite and sweep on the pitch. Opponents are hitting just around .100 off of it this summer. It plays well off of his fastball, giving him two above-average pitches. He’s mixed in a changeup, but it is more of an experimental pitch currently.
His profile screams high-leverage reliever, but his 6’5”, 220 lb. frame may lead a professional organization to attempt to develop him as a starter due to his projectability. Regardless of his future role, Lanthier has been a pleasant surprise for Hyannis and should continue to be a high-leverage guy down the stretch.

It will be interesting to see how the Mets develop Lanthier.
There is one school that says keep him in the pen and work on his control. Another says stretch the big guy out and put him in a rotation.
We will find out as soon as he is assigned and which will be the first inning he pitches.

If he is 12th round, I am betting on Lanthier being in the pen.
I'm working on my draft Thoughts for Tyesday morning
Looking forward to it.
I believe every pitcher should start games and let’s see who has it and who doesn’t.
