MACK – Three more possibilities for Mets first pick

 

We continue with three more players that easily could be available when the Mets pick in the first round of the 2027 draft:

 

Teddy Tokheim, 3B/OF/1B, Stanford

20/years old – 6-3/215 – RHH

2026/Stanford -           199-AB, 36-K, 17-HR, 47-RBI, 21-BB, .352/.414/.704/1.118

Most player’s OPS is round what this guy’s slugging percentage is. And, this was as a freshman.

Offense wise, one of the top draft eligible sophomores in the draft. Terrific bat speed. Plenty of power. Physically imposing. Can pummel a baseball. Starts slightly open in crouched stance. Big leg kick. Impressive hip-shoulder separation that generates easy bat speed. Plus, raw power designed to lift baseballs. Impressive barrel length through the zone. Makes ton of contact. Played well in summer wood bat leagues. Maintains a healthy strikeout rate. Could be the best overall offensive approach/swing in the draft.

Defense wise, projects to either third or a corner outfield position. Fring-average runner. A lot of question regarding his defensive game. Will be forced to first or DH in the pros though, his bat will carry him wherever he plays.

 

 

Lubin Rincon, SS/3B, Shadow Creek HS (Tex.)

6-3/180 - LHH

Perfect Game rating: 10. Tall and lean. Projects more to come.

Offense wise – comfortable straight stance. Fluid hands. Plenty of extension out front. Great approach to the plate. Outstanding balance in the box. Short and compact. Current hit over power, but, don’t worry… raw pop to the pull side developing.  it will come. The final package could end up being an above-average hit, above-average power combination. 6.67 in the 60. 101.9 exit velo.

Defense wise – primarily a shortstop with soft and sure hands. Easy arm strength and carry. 93 infield velo. Slightly above-average runner which plays also well defensively. Some think he will stick on short.

 

 

Jacob Seamon, OF/SS, Metrolina Christian Academy (NC)

17/years old - 6-5/205 – LHH

2026    -           .528/.595/1.104          13-HR, 50-RBI, 31-SB

 

Offense wise, has all the offensive tools. Plenty of power already. Does come with some swing-and-miss concerns (doesn’t every power hitter suffer from this?).

Scouts say he runs like a gazelle. Grades up to 70-run. Currently has a monster power projection. 30+home runs are already being projected for him. Premium bat speed (projected for more).

Defense wise, has all the defensive ones too. Projected to stay in center.

 Seamon is simply an elite athlete for a player of his size and length.
