The Mets have signed first-round pick Carson Benge, and the team announced that the 21-year-old will begin his professional career at the Florida Complex League.
Here’s what Kris Gross, the Mets’ VP of amateur scouting, had to say about Benge:
“Today is another exciting day as we continue to build our farm system. I want to congratulate Carson and his family on all the hard work they have put in to get to this point. Carson is an incredibly athletic player who can impact the game in multiple facets. I look forward to watching him develop as he begins his journey to the major leagues.
