New York Mets farmhand Franklyn Kilome is the tallest and lightest member of the organization’s 40-man roster. Listed at 6’6 and 175 pounds, he carries a tall, slender frame with him to the mound higher than anyone else with the least amount of weight preventing him from floating off into space.
More important than the structure of his body is the foundation of his game. When the Mets acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies in the Asdrubal Cabrera trade, there was a question about his control. In the seven starts he made for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Kilome did a lot of things right.
