Round 6, Pick 193
Written by Alexis Farinacci

With their sixth-round pick, the Mets selected right-handed pitcher Nathan Hall from the University of Central Missouri. The pick carries a value of $322.3k.

Hall, 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, was a redshirt sophomore this year. In his first two seasons at Central Missouri, he combined to go 1-0 with a 6.14 ERA in 18 appearances (five starts, 13 relief appearances). He gave up 20 earned runs on 28 hits and 18 walks, and struck out 31.

Hall, a catcher in high school, redshirted his freshman season to convert from being a catcher to move 90 feet to the mound to become a pitcher.

In his senior year at Liberty High School, Hall (a catcher at the time) earned All-State Honorable Mention and Second Team All-Conference selection.

According to Perfect Game College Baseball, he has a mid-to-upper 90s fastball with carry that touches 93-95, and topped at 98 mph. Hall also has a sweeper that ranges 84-85 with bend, a curveball that touches 80-82 mph, and also has a slider.

This past season Hall underwent internal brace surgery to repair his UCL, but did not need Tommy John surgery.

In 2025 Hall’s best game was on February 24 against Missouri Western State College when he struck out eight in five innings. He came away with a no-decision that game as Missouri Western went on to defeat Central Missouri 4-2.

Round 7, Pick 223

The Mets took Auburn right-hander Cam Tilly with their seventh-round selection. The slot value is $254k.

Tilly was mostly a reliever in two years at Auburn. As a freshman, he had a 6.29 ERA in 14 games. He got a larger sample as a sophomore this this season — 19 games, including six starts — and put up a 5.48 ERA over 46 innings. He struck out 11.3 batters per nine innings and walked 5.7.

He’s been described as mainly a fastball/slider guy, but he also mixes in a splitter that’s received some praise in recent months. His fastball sits in the low to mid 90s and has topped out at 97. He throws his splitter in the mid 80s. FanGraphs originally called Tilly’s slider his best pitch, but the splitter has opened a lot of eyeballs too.

Erratic command has been cited as an issue of Tilly’s, but a FanGraphs report cited his “straightforward delivery and clean arm action” as factors that could help him improve in that department.

General reports from scouts seem to be mixed on whether he’ll be able to start in the long term. But with six starts under his belt this season, the possibility is at least open. If his slider and splitter can both be consistent offerings, it would bode well towards that prospect.

Round 8, Pick 253
Written by Mojo Hill

The Mets selected a high school pitcher, Camden Lohman, with their eighth-round pick. The slot value is $213.2k.

Lohman comes from Fort Zumwalt North High School in Missouri. He’s committed to the University of Missouri. He’s a 6-foot-4 right-hander who saw a massive jump from his junior to senior year, going from the high 80s to touching 95 mph. A February showcase with ScoutConnect had him topping out at 97. It sits more in the 91-95 range. He also features a splitter, slider and curveball.

Before the draft, Lohman was reported as a possibility to be taken in the top five rounds. MLB had him ranked No. 220.

He throws with an over-the-top delivery and a short stride. The pitch mix at a young age definitely gives him starter potential, and he’s expected to sign an over-slot deal after falling this far in the draft.
