Round 1, Pick 12 (Slot: $4,366,400)
Name: Brett Baty (Lake Travis HS – Austin, TX) Video
Pos: 3B Ht: 6’3″ Wt: 216
Notable rankings: Fangraphs (8), Baseball America (15), MLB Pipeline (17)
12. Mets: Brett Baty, 3b, TX HS. Chance to stick at 3B long term, LH bat with high-end hit tool projection to go along with at-least plus raw pop. Advanced age was a concern for some teams, one of the top offensive upsides in the class overall.

Round 2, Pick 53 (Slot: $1,370,400)
Name: Josh Wolf (St. Thomas HS – Houston, TX) Video
Pos: RHP Ht: 6’2″ Wt: 165
Notable rankings: MLB Pipeline (36), Baseball America (54), Fangraphs (60)
Notes on Mets second rounder RHP Josh Wolf:
-1.52 ERA, 126 strikeouts in 69 innings senior year
-No-hitter and two-hitter in playoffs
-gained weight and velocity this year, fastball up to 97 mph
-scouts rave about his makeup
-ranked as high as No. 36 for draft prospects— Michael Mayer (@mikemayerMMO) June 4, 2019
Round 3, Pick 89 (Slot: $667,900)
Name: Matthew Allan (Seminole HS – Sanford, FL) Video
Pos: RHP Ht: 6’3″ Wt: 225
Notable rankings: MLB Pipeline (13), Baseball America (16), Fangraphs (20)
Mets take the highest-ranked remaining player in Matt Allan. Was the top prep RHP on many boards, obvious (BIG) overpay situation, physical/durable, FB into upper-90’s, breaker is plus, CH chance to be. If they can sign him, massive pick.
— Brian Sakowski (@B_Sakowski_PG) June 4, 2019
Wow! Mets take Matthew Allan. Have to see how they can afford him. We projected him as a middle of the first round pick. Hard to figure out how the money works, but third round….maybe a lot of seniors from here on out.

Name: Jake Mangum (Mississippi State) Video

With their 4th round pick, the @Mets select Of, Jake Mangum. All-time SEC hits leader. + bat-to-ball skills. + runner and defense. Not much power to speak of, but exciting player. @HailStateBB #MLBDraft #Mets https://t.co/EmoxgFgyUM
— Kyler Peterson (@KPeterson813) June 4, 2019
Mets take one of the best seniors in the country here in @HailStateBB‘s Jake Mangum. Dynamic athlete and defender in center field, plus runner with great contact skills from both sides #HailState

Round 5, Pick 148 (Slot: $364,400)
Name: Nathan Jones (Northwestern State)
Pos: RHP Ht: 6’1″ Wt: 200
Don’t have Nathan Jones, but hearing he is a good performer, 90-93 mph FB and touches 94 with a fringe-average curve. 2.78 ERA with 80 strikeouts in 81 innings this spring in the Southland Conference.

Round 6, Pick 178 (Slot: $277,100)
Name: Zach Ashford (Fresno State) Video
Pos: CF Ht: 5’10” Wt: 180
Another quality senior for the #Mets in Fresno State OF Zach Ashford. Big performance, bat-to-ball skills, 55 runner with a chance to stick in CF. Low floor type money saver.

Round 8, Pick 238 (Slot: $174,000)
Name: Connor Wollersheim (Kent State) Video
Pos: LHP Ht: 6’2″ Wt: 205
Kent State owns the 8th Connor Wollersheim is a high 80s lefty, classic senior sign type right here. He is very limited, but has three pitches and can spot them well

Round 9, Pick 268 (Slot: $154,600)
Name: Joe Genord (South Florida) Video
Pos: 1B Ht: 6’1″ Wt: 227
Congratulations to @USFBaseball 1B Joe Genord, drafted by the Mets in the ninth round (268th overall). Sorta surprising, considering Genord has no remaining collegiate eligibility and no leverage. Mets obviously like his power a lot.
— Joey Knight (@TBTimes_Bulls) June 4, 2019
Round 10, Pick 298 (Slot: $145,300)
Name: Scott Ota (Illinois-Chicago) Video
Pos: RF Ht: 5’11” Wt: 195
Scott Ota was a high school teammate of Hunter Bishop and actually performer nearly as well as Bishop this year. Their builds and tools are a lot different of course. He makes excellent contact and had a power explosion this year to the Mets.

Round 12, Pick 358
Name: Antoine Duplantis (LSU) Video
Pos: OF Ht: 5’11” Wt: 180
Notable rankings: Baseball America (362)
#Mets keep loading up on seniors and Antoine Duplantis is one of the better ones. LSU career hit leader, marginal tools elsewhere, fits in LF but has always hit.
— Vinnie Cervino (@vcervinoPG) June 5, 2019
Round 13, Pick 388
Name: Blaine McIntosh (Sycamore HS – Plesant View, TN)
Pos: CF Ht: 6’4″ Wt: 180
Notable rankings: Baseball America (494)
13th rounder Blaine McIntosh is a very toolsy CF headed to Vandy….he fits what I was talking about.

Round 14, Pick 418
Name: Kennie Taylor (Duke) Video
Pos: CF Ht: 5’11” Wt: 170

Mr. 500 gets off the board in Kennie Taylor. Good defender in center with plenty of speed. #MLBDraft #Mets
— Carlos Collazo (@CarlosACollazo) June 5, 2019
OF Kennie Taylor doesn’t project to have much power, but is a solid defender and plus runner. #Mets

Round 17, Pick 508
Name: Dan Goggin (James Madison)
Pos: RHP Ht: 6’2″ Wt: 215
RHP Dan Goggin tops out at 95 with his FB. His slider flashes above-average. Lacks command and gets hit. Throws a cutter as well as a changeup which he doesn’t use much. #Mets

Round 24, Pick 718
Name: Hunter Barco (The Bolles School – Jacksonville, FL) Video
Pos: LHP Ht: 6’4″ Wt: 205
Notable rankings: Baseball America (32), MLB Pipeline (34), Fangraphs (42)
Hunter Barco was once viewed as the top lefty in this class, he will be heading to Florida after the Mets grabbed him here

Round 25, Pick 748
Name: Joseph Charles (TNXL Academy – Kissimmiee, FL) Video
Pos: RHP Ht: 6’3″ Wt: 190
Notable rankings: Baseball America (142), MLB Pipeline (181)
With their 25th round pick, the @Mets select RHP, Joseph Charles. Athletic righty. FB 93-95 T97 with CB in high-70’s. Potential w/ bat and in CF as well. Already made clear he won’t sign. Should benefit hugely from attending @DiamondHeels. #MLBDraft #Metshttps://t.co/kja6sIbFHS

Round 26, Pick 778
Name: Mitchell Senger (Stetson) Video

LHP Mitchell Senger- lefty that throws with a funky arm action which helps his stuff play up. 86-88 w/ FB, four pitch mix. Solid SL, fringe CB. #Mets

Round 38, Pick 1,138
Name: Casey Slattery (Glendale College) Video
Pos: 1B Ht: 6’4″ Wt: 240
Admittedly didn’t expect to see Slattery’s name pop up in this year’s draft, but I get it. He’s a big dude with remarkable raw power; still putting it together tho. Pretty smooth over at 1B, not a bad athlete for his size. #Mets #MLBDraft
