The Mets dropped 10 spots in this year’s MLB Draft and won’t pick until outside the first round, at No. 32 overall.
There’s some depth to this draft. I think if there’s a year you’re going to be picking outside the first round, it’s a good draft to do that with. There’s some college pitching depth, but there’s a lot of position player depth also. This draft is one of the better ones to have multiple picks like we do.
Tommy Tanous, the Mets vice president of amateur and international scouting, won’t get to make the team’s first pick until after the first round has concluded.Is it fair to assume you don’t spend much time scouting the most elite players in the draft when you’re picking so late?You do want to make sure you have your bases covered. Every year someone’s going to slide — several players will slide for various reasons — and you want to make sure you’re not caught with a lack of information.
What’s the impact of seeing a player drafted by the organization and another signed internationally contributing this season as rookies? But it’s a great feeling of accomplishment, and that goes for the player development. If [scouting] is getting credit for some players, those players have to go through player development and a lot of people — analytics, coaching staffs, mental skills — touch all of these players to get them finally to the big leagues, the final journey. … So I think it’s a sense of accomplishment for the entire organization, not just the scouting staff.
