Tylor Megill could be a dark horse candidate in 2021

His name might not make top prospect lists, but Tylor Megill impressed me when I saw him pitch in Columbia in 2019 and clearly Mets executives felt that, as he was invited to spring training as a non-roster invitee. Drafted in the 8th round of the 2018 MLB Draft out of the University of Arizona, Megill was far from a must-follow. Possessing a solid-if-unspectacular peripherals and a cumulative 4.61 ERA in 125.0 innings thrown over three seasons at Loyola Marymount University and the University of Arizona, the right-hander signed for $50,000, well below the MLB-assigned slot value of $176,700.
