Mets prioritize college pitchers in 2023 MLB Draft
The New York Mets focused on college pitchers during Day 2 of the MLB Draft, selecting four out of five picks from the college ranks. This trend follows their previous emphasis on position players in recent drafts. Of particular interest is two-way player Nolan McLean, whom the Mets plan to utilize both as a pitcher and outfielder. The team's approach is to select the best available players, and this year's abundance of quality college pitching allowed them to take advantage of the opportunity.
