The New York Mets had a chance to add premiere talent to their organization in the first two rounds of the MLB First-Year Player Draft that took place on Monday.
For a system that needed an upgrade, Sandy Alderson and the front office might have done just that with the selections of two high school players. They went with outfielder Jarred Kelenic (sixth pick) and right-hander Simeon Woods-Richardson (48th overall).
Once Florida third baseman Jonathan India went off the board to the Cincinnati Reds (fifth overall), the Mets were able to go with Kelenic out of Waukesha West High School in Wisconsin.
