NEW YORK -- When Mets scouting director Tommy Tanous referred to the team's top pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, Desmond Lindsay, as "an offensive machine," he could easily have been referring to fourth-round pick David Thompson instead. He could have even been referring to Thompson's whole team.
With Thompson in the middle of its order this spring, the University of Miami tied for first in the nation in total offense en route to a College World Series berth. Late in the season and in qualifying rounds, the Hurricanes posted scores as lopsided as 22-1 over Georgia Tech and 22-3 over Columbia.
