With their second round pick in the 2024 draft, the Mets selected Duke left hander Jonathan Santucci 46th overall.
A quick glance at Santucci’s college stats will likely leave you underwhelmed. He’s never had an ERA under 3.4, never tossed more than 58 innings in a season, and never registered a BB/9 under 4.4 outside of the Cape. HIs walk problems were particularly extreme in his final year in the ACC with a 5.6 BB/9. He’s also missed time with rib, back, and elbow injuries over his college career, so we’re clearly looking at a guy with major control and injury concerns.
