## Resource

The Mets made a bold move in the draft, selecting fiery right-hander Carson Wiggins with the 27th overall pick — a spot pushed back due to luxury tax penalties. Though sidelined by elbow surgery and skipping this season, Wiggins boasts a 100+ mph fastball and a dominant 2025 college campaign. It’s their first first-round pitcher since 2017, and with their second-round pick forfeited, the pressure is on to make this pick count — especially as they rebuild a depleted farm system.
