MACK - 2026 Draft Picks 10.300 P Nate Isler - Pick 11.330 OF Kuhio Aloy

 

Pick 10.300 – P – Nate Isler - Dartmouth

Nate Isler is a 6-6, 235-pound right-handed pitcher from Milton, Georgia (born October 25, 2004).

He played college baseball at Dartmouth (Ivy League) and was selected by the New York Mets in the 10th round (300th overall) of the 2026 MLB Draft.

2026 (Junior) – Dartmouth University: Led the Ivy League with 65 IP and 80 strikeouts in 11 starts.

Posted a 4.98 ERA, 1-6 record, 25 BB, and just 1 HR allowed. Earned All-Ivy Honorable Mention. He had multiple strong outings, including 9.2 IP (2 ER) vs. Columbia, scoreless 6 IP vs. Brown, and career-high 11 Ks twice (vs. Princeton and Yale).

2025 (Sophomore): 10 starts, 55.1 IP, 6.67 ERA, 36 Ks.

2024 (Freshman): 12 appearances (5 starts), 20.2 IP, 13.50 ERA (high due to limited innings and adjustment), but showed strikeout ability (24 Ks, 8 BB).

Summer leagues: Pitched in the NECBL (Upper Valley) and Cape Cod League (Yarmouth-Dennis).

He improved steadily, showing durability (team-high innings) and strikeout stuff, though command and consistency (especially with runners on) remain areas to refine. His size and arm action give him good extension and a steep angle.

Pitch Repertoire

Isler features a multi-pitch mix that has developed since high school (where his fastball was in the mid-80s to low-90s with an 11-5 curve and changeup). Recent reports (2026) show velocity gains and a deeper arsenal.

Fastball — Primary pitch, sits 92-95 mph (touches 96 mph early in outings, 92-94 later). Good angle from his tall frame and high 3/4 slot.

Slider — 82-85 mph, a key offering for whiffs and missing bats.

Curveball (or 11-5 breaking ball) — 78-79 mph, with depth/shape. He showed advanced feel for this in high school and it remains part of his mix.

Changeup (split-change or traditional CH) — 83-85 mph, used for off-speed deception.

Overall profile: Big, projectable frame with room for added strength/velocity. He repeats his delivery well, pounds the zone at times (high K rates), and creates extension. As a pro, the Mets will likely focus on refining command, developing a consistent third/fourth pitch, and managing innings as he transitions to full-season ball.

He's a classic tall righty with upside—high-floor depth arm who could develop into a back-end starter or multi-inning reliever with further gains.

MACK – another high ERA pitcher. I have no opinion.

11.330 - OF - Kuhio Aloy - Arkansas

Kuhio Aloy is a right-handed hitting outfielder/DH from Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii. He is known as a power bat and one of the standout Hawaiian players in recent college baseball.

Born: July 13, 2005 (age 21 as of mid-2026).

Attended H.P. Baldwin High School, where he helped his team to back-to-back Hawaii state runner-up finishes (2022–23).

Younger brother (by about 17 months) of Wehiwa Aloy, a highly decorated shortstop who starred at Arkansas and was a first-round MLB pick. The brothers became the first siblings to earn first-team All-SEC honors together and were nicknamed the “Bash Brothers.”

College Career

2024 (Freshman at BYU):

Played in all 52 games (mostly DH). Hit .269/.329/.447 with 8 HR and a team-leading 38 RBI. Earned Big 12 All-Freshman Team honors and Big 12 Newcomer of the Week once.

2025 (Sophomore at Arkansas, transferred from BYU): Breakout season as the primary DH. Slashing .317/.404/.539 with 13 HR and a team-high 70 RBI in 61 games. Earned: First-team All-SEC (DH)

Multiple All-American honors (College Baseball Foundation 1st Team, ABCA/Rawlings & NCBWA 2nd Team)

Helped Arkansas reach the College World Series

Also won the Cape Cod League Home Run Derby in summer 2025.

2026 (Junior at Arkansas): Started 49 games (mostly DH, some RF) before a season-ending injury. Hit .293/.352/.486 with 9 HR and 41 RBI. Suffered a broken hamate bone in his left hand during the SEC Tournament (May 2026), requiring surgery. Still showed strong stretches, including SEC Player of the Week honors in early May.

Aloy is a physical 6-1, 205 lb right-handed hitter with plus raw power (multiple 400+ ft home runs noted in college). He has produced high RBI totals and shown the ability to drive the ball consistently when locked in. He has also added speed on the bases (5-for-5 SB in 2026). Defensively, he has seen time in the outfield and at first base. Injuries (including a hand issue in summer 2025 and the 2026 hamate fracture) have been a minor hurdle, but scouts view him as a solid organizational prospect with bat-first upside.

MACK – Another damaged player. Right up Stearns’ alley. The good news here is the Mets would never have come close to this guy this late in the draft if he didn’t break that bone. If healthy, a potential first round pick. Could be the Mets future first baseman someday. Pray for this one.
