With the 52nd pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, the New York Mets select… J.T. Ginn, RHP, Mississippi State University. Two years ago, Ginn was a first-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They weren’t able to come to an agreement and he went to college.
Ginn, 21, was excellent in his first year at MSU diving straight into the starting rotation and pitching 17 games. He pitched 86.1 innings, which is about five innings per start. During that time he had a 3.13 ERA, 10.9 K/9, and 2.0 BB/9. Simply put, he looked like a future ace.
