The second and final day of the modified MLB Draft concluded on Thursday. The New York Mets had a theme for each of their picks, according to Brodie Van Wagenen. They wanted “high-end, impact talent” to bolster their farm system. The Mets started their day by drafting right-handed pitcher, J.T. Ginn, out of Mississippi State University.
Ginn is a high risk, high reward prospect. He was a first-round talent who dropped down after getting Tommy John Surgery in March. As a past first-rounder, Ginn will be a tough sign, much like Matthew Allan was in the previous draft.
