Mets: Jarred Kelenic and other notable sixth overall draft picks
The New York Mets took high school outfielder Jarred Kelenic sixth overall in the 2018 MLB Draft. Could he succeed like many others taken at number six?
On Monday June 4, 2018, the New York Mets selected outfielder Jarred Kelenic sixth overall in the MLB Draft. The high school outfielder is likely a half-decade away from seeing any meaningful MLB at-bats. That’s if he ever gets there at all.
In the history of sixth overall picks, we’ve seen greatness and irrelevancy. The MLB Draft is as much a crapshoot as any. You’ll be five years older before you even have the slightest idea of what Kelenic can do at the big league level. Even then the story will be far from over.
