Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.
The draft is finally here, with rounds 1 and 2 in the books. The Mets selected Oklahoma OF/RHP Carson Benge in the first and Duke LHP Jonathan Santucci in the second, meaning that we’ve once again managed to predict a first round pick (congratulations Ken). Our reactions are generally positive - the Mets didn’t do anything amazing, but there wasn’t really an opportunity to, and they generally avoid the (many) pitfalls of this year’s draft.
