## Resource

The Mets made a bold move in their draft, selecting 19 players with a heavy emphasis on college arms and a focus on pitching—12 pitchers and 7 position players. Their first pick, Carson Wiggins at 27th overall, is a high-velocity righty with nasty stuff, seen as a potential frontline starter or high-leverage reliever. They also snagged Aiden Robbins, a power-hitting college star, and Shane Sdao, a lefty recovering from Tommy John surgery. Later picks like Luke McNeillie, Alex Petrovic, and Aidan Keenan—all college pitchers with upside—showcase their commitment to development. Despite a limited bonus pool, the Mets prioritized raw talent and future potential, betting big on their system to turn these arms into impact players. It’s a rebuilding blueprint with serious promise. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
