Mets draft a “Bat” and a “Wolf” from Texas in rounds one and two

Admittedly, I’m not as up-to-date on college or high school baseball as some who follow the game. So, when I saw the New York Mets drafted Brett Baty in the first round and Josh Wolf in the second, my excitement couldn’t extend beyond loving their names.

A bat and a wolf are exactly what the 2019 Mets could use. Their offense is stagnant and their attitude is more sheepish than anything else.

The pair have more in common than becoming the latest round one and two selections of the Mets. Both are high school kids from Texas.
