Mets RHP prospect Justin Dunn excelling for High-A St. Lucie

Mets RHP prospect Justin Dunn -- one of the top prospects in the system -- has been lights out so far this season for High-A St. Lucie.

The 22-year-old Dunn has tossed 10.0 scoreless innings over two starts while allowing just eight hits, walking three, and striking out 14.

Dunn, who the Mets selected with the 19th overall pick in the 2016 Draft, struggled last season, with ESPN's Keith Law saying the Mets may have rushed him.

Calling him "an athlete with a tremendous arm," Law elaborated, per Abbey Mastracco of NJ.
