WEBVTT - Full Mets Draft Recap, Notes on Carson Wiggins, Aiden Robbins, More | 589 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:09.159 What is Up? 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.559 Mets fans, Welcome back to another episode of the Mets 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:16.000 Up Podcast, the twenty twenty six MLB Draft recap. We 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.680 have got all of the picks in for the New 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.840 York Mets this year. The draft was a little interesting. 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.119 They didn't have many picks at the start, but apparently 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.080 they got their guys. We're gonna tell you our thoughts, opinions, 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.960 and everything that we know about them in today's episode. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:30.960 If you're enjoying it, make sure you are subscribed to 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.120 Mets Up over on YouTube, and if you're listening to 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.480 us Apple podcasts, Spotify, Google drops a rating, drops a review, 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.440 download and subscribe. James, we got to start with the 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.920 first round pick that people were caring way too much about, 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.720 getting up in arms about it because he only threw 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.599 fourteen college innings. Let's talk about Carson Wiggins right head 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:48.640 to pitch you out of Arkansas. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.680 I think that's why this is fair to get relatively 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.560 up in arms because you took a player in Carson 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.720 Wiggins who was a sophomore, so someone that instantly kind 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.680 of has leverage in the draft because very easy to 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.200 go back for your junior year, play another year of SECA, 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.000 especially when you have the stuff of Carson Wiggins when 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.640 he was on the mound as a freshman. There are 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.520 people who are in the college baseball world who thought 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.320 he could have had some of the best raw stuff 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.720 in the country. There are people at the University of Arkansas, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.520 you guys can hear from in a second, that thought 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.480 if he came back and pitched a full season in 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.040 Arkansas next year, he could have easily worked his way 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.080 into being a top five pick. But kind of got 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.800 stuck in no man's land recovering from injury and then 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.959 came back pitching the combine didn't have his best stuff, 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.840 but when he was healthy, it's probably an. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:27.640 Eighty grade fastball. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.240 He's hit one hundred and two miles narrow average nineteen 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.720 inches of ever, like, it's a really, really, really outrageously 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:34.360 good fastball. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.400 Yeah, it's possibly one of the best fastballs in the class, 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.240 especially if he was fully healthy. So coming back rehabbing 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.679 doing what he has in college, I think we also 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.080 have to make it very well known that rehabbing at 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.680 a college university is very different than rehabbing in a 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.920 major league organization. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.400 So that's something that's even interesting that he was. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.880 Able to still get up to like the upper nineties 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.120 with the college rehab work, and then that slider in 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.080 the curveball are both really good. The slider is a 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.560 legit wipeout pitch. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.560 Looks like it also could be like Flash seventy eighty 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.040 great pitch. I also think this situation is an interesting 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.840 microcosm for a big debate going on right now with 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.080 the CBA of offloading development to the colleges and not 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.280 letting players go from high school to the league. Because 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.799 Carson Wiggins seemed like had a bit of a run 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.640 in with the Arkansas brass and the coaches where his 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.560 head coach, I want to get the name right right here, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.840 seemed like a weird vibe during the season. It was 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.000 loading Dave van Horn, great SEC coach name Keith's father, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.440 possibly Keith's father from May fourth of this past year. 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.120 So on the road to Omaha right there on Carson Wiggins. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.240 He's one hundred percent healthy, but as of right now, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.000 they're not going to let him pitch. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.480 That's all I'm going to say. I'm not real happy about. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.600 It, which just brings up the conversation that will be 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.359 a bigger one that we have about why college development 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.320 offloading is definitely not the right move for baseball if 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.760 you actually care about player development, which we know that 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.200 they don't, that this is all to actually offload costs, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.239 because if you make players go to college, they have 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.639 to go into the miners and then they become legers 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.320 at an older age, which means they don't get the 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.640 want so to mega contracts. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.359 No, of course, and that's why it is a weird 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.920 thing here because even when Wiggins apparently was fully healthy 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.799 when he went to the combine, the Draft Combine a 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.720 month later, he didn't have the same stuff to the 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.920 show as a freshman. He was only sitting low nineties, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.160 the slider, didn't have the same movement, the same philosophy. 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.680 Did feel like it was a very weird player to 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.720 evaluate because of that. Because of that, baseball perspectives to 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.680 even have him on their board, because they were like, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.000 how we did a very difficult player to evaluate. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.359 You'd say it was healthy, We'll know I it's healthy. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.160 He didn't look healthy. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.359 But then we also know we've heard that there were 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.400 other teams towards the back of the first round that 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.120 were very keen on Carson Wiggins. And when You're a 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.120 Mets team that had the thurther second lowest bonus pool 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.800 in the whole thing. You didn't have the second round 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.400 pick because you forfeited for Boba Schett. At some point 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.920 you probably have to take a swing. There is probably 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.080 the only chance to get something relatively safe, which I 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.160 think was the main criticism of this pick, because this 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.200 is not safe at all. But I mean, if you 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:52.880 can take a swing, I guess get an Adie great 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:53.840 fastball to take the swing. 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:54.400 Yeah. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.520 I also think too, like we saw him at the combine, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.880 so I am a little bit surprised that perspectives didn't 0:03:58.880 --> 0:03:59.640 know where to rank him. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.080 Just he was like eight miles an hour off his ABA. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.760 Now he was like four miles an hour off his 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.720 average from the year before. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.280 Yeah, but we could still see stuff. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.040 And the fact that I feel like all the other 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.800 places were ranking him too, I feel like we shouldn't 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.280 necessarily just see fourteen nings at the college. We know 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.080 what the stuff can be, we know what the stuff 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.920 has been. We know that the Mets have done well 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.880 with pitching development. I know this is a big conversation 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.200 to that Jonah Tong's bust and that the Mets haven't 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.359 done anything recently, but the Mets have done well with 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.720 pitching development, the other big thing that we have to 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.440 talk about with this pick too, along with the fact 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.839 that he's Jackson Wiggins brother Mets. Freddie Peralta to the Cubs, 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.120 Jackson Wiggins to the Mets. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:33.719 It's happening. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.920 But the Mets didn't have another pick until pick number 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.599 ninety two, and Carson Wiggins was a guy that at 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.400 least from the I don't want to say mox because 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.880 you're not seeing Mox, but from the relative idea of 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.039 where he could fall in the draft, people thought that 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:48.919 it was going to be inside the top ninety or 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.560 then he wasn't going to be drafted and he was 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.840 going to go back to school. So for the Mets, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.120 they didn't have another opportunity to really go get a 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.120 guy that it seems like they very much wanted. And 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.080 I like some people, we're gonna hate the process. I 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.920 like the process here. I don't like going safe in 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.040 the draft. I like going for the home run. And 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.280 it does feel like while there's a huge range of 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.960 outcomes here with Carson Wiggins, one of the top ones 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.240 is that you could just you can find a guy 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.880 who's got a unbelievable fastball slider combo. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.480 And I think we're not yet. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.000 We're gonna talk about the rest of his class, and 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.080 how I think these first two picks of Wiggins and 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.600 Robbins set the Mets up to maybe take fewer risks 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.400 later on, take more close to ready products, Take guys 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.240 who maybe didn't have as high a feelings but at 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.359 least had generally good floors. But again, the risk on 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.480 Wiggins is something crazy happens. I also felt like the 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.040 Mets did a lot of the pre work with Wiggins. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.159 Of course, you'd expect that from a team's first round pick, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.000 but he already signed like he's ready to go player 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.000 that again, once he went in the first round, he 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.000 was getting near his slot, which just kind of makes 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.240 the whole draft more confusing. Anyway, probably knew he was 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.000 signing anyway, but nice to see you lock that up 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.360 so soon with a player who again unbelievably wide range 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:52.960 of outcomes. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.040 A couple guys recently have been taken in the first 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.039 few rounds by the Mets, the Braves, other teams that 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.280 haven't thrown that many innings. I wouldn't worry about the 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.320 innings if there's anything to be worried about it as 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.800 the injury. But you're gonna hear more now from our 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.240 friend Andrew Ellis, who covers the Arkansas Razorbacks. We're gonna 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:08.520 cut him in real quick. He's gonna tell you a 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.840 little bit about Carson Wiggins. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.479 What's going on. 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.160 Andrew ellis here, host of the Bombastic Podcast, the number 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.160 one podcast for Arkansas Razorback baseball. So while I may 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.599 not be able to tell you much about the rest 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.279 of the Mets draft class, can definitely speak pretty confidently 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.080 on the three former Razorbacks who are set to join 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.000 the Mets organization, and Carson Wiggins, Cahill Aloy and Cooper Dawsett. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:27.920 We'll start with Wiggins. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.120 Of course, he's kind of the big one, the headliner here. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.000 I guess you could call it one of the bigger 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.159 surprises of the draft. Now, we had been kind of 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.520 hearing over here in Fayetteville that he had a very 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.040 high asking price as a draft eligible sophomore. Arkansas was 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.000 hoping to get him back for a junior season, and 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.400 I will say the Arkansas coaching staff was of the 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.400 belief that he had pitched a full season in the 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.839 SEC next year, he would be a guy that would 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.320 have a chance to go in the top five to 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.760 ten overall picks. Now that's their take on the situation. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.360 Probably a little bit optimistic, but it kind of tells 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.440 you what type of talent you're looking at here. Freak athlete. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.920 He was a really good high school basketball player. Has 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.520 a vertical leap of over forty inches. I remember touring 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.040 the Arkansas facilities the weight room a few years ago 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.280 and they had it on the board all the you know, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.559 the highest broad jump, the highest shuttle time, the highest 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.080 vertical leap. Wiggins was in the top two or three 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.880 of all of them at six six. So it kind 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.760 of tells you what kind of athletic specimen you're talking 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.320 about here. Only fourteen college innings, we only got to 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.960 see him close some games as a freshman, gets heard 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240 about halfway through the year, has surgery, does not pitch 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.800 it all this past season, which was very much a polarizing, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.480 controversial thing throughout this season. It was kind of a 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.239 whole will he pitch for Arkansas? 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:37.720 Will he not? 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.480 Is he going to try and hold out for the draft? 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.200 Could they maybe get him for next year? Obviously it 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.760 doesn't seem like that's going to happen, But many people 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.480 in Fayeville were hoping he get to see that evolved 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.320 version of Carson Wiggins because they feel like if he 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.040 had pitched his junior year at Arkansas, this would be 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.720 one of the top two or three college pitchers taken 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.360 in next year's draft. So while it does, I'm sure 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.280 some fans are probably surprised why the Mets if the 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.080 guy at twenty seven overall who had projections a lot later. 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.320 A lot of those projections took into account his signability, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.640 So in terms of talent, I don't think this is 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.840 a reach by any stretch of the imagination. I also 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.920 imagine he's gonna wind up signing for below that three 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.239 point five slot value there, but a really special talent. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.080 His brother, his brother, Jackson, is in the Cubs organization 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:22.640 right now. He was a second round pick a few 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.840 years ago, a little bit older than Carson. He's in 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.040 Triple A right now, one of the top one hundred 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.280 prospects in all of baseball, who's on a very nice trajectory. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.280 Now they're not the same exact picture, but you can 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.280 kind of get a glimpse into what that future might 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.640 look like. And by all accounts, all the scouts and 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.600 people who would know feel like Carson is the better prospect, 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.960 the more polished overall pitcher compared to his brother Jackson, 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.120 who is a little bit more a fastball dependent thrower 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.439 more so than a pitcher. Seems like Carson is a 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.439 little bit more ahead in his development and I will 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.640 see how he looks coming off injury. But making no mistake, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.400 the upside is absolutely there. If you want to use 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.800 him out of the bullpen, he could probably be pitching 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.240 in games in the next one or two years. But 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.880 I think him as a starter as a frontline ace 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.680 is very possible and something that I'd imagine the Mets 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:08.560 would want to explore. 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.319 So the next pick, the Mets made, like we told 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.400 you before, all the way, pick ninety two because of 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.720 Boba Shed. Athan Robbins, outfielder from Texas. Two things funny 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.360 about Robbins. One is that there were a lot of knocks. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.199 He was mocked in the Mets of twenty seven, which 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:21.599 is kind of funny, so it seems like there was 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.160 a lot of communication with him beforehand too. Two he's 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.840 from Bucks County, PA. He went seat in all for 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.720 two years. He's like a relatively local kid, which is 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:29.960 kind of a funny wrinkle with this. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.480 Yeah, shout out our friend Mike of Stark Graving Sports. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.760 He wanted a Robin's bast round so badly got him 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.720 in the third round. Best of both worlds for Mike. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.280 There's obviously some concerns with Robbins, which is why he 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.319 dropped to the third round. There's a lot of swing 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.000 and miss, and something that we saw in the draft 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.079 this year more than ever in the MLB draft, swing 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:50.160 and miss was punishing people. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:50.559 Jacob B. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.319 Lombard fell in the draft because of the swing and 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.880 misconcerns and a lot of contact. First good athletes were 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.480 taken higher with the idea that you could develop into 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.760 that power will decide whether or not that's the right 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.599 way to go about it. There is no doubt that 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.360 Aiden Robbins has power. I think he hit the most 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.760 home runs in the Cape Cod League in the SEC. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.760 This highest average I believe too in the cape Cod League. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.880 Yet like he can hit, he does swing and miss. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.160 There might be issues with adjusting to the breaking balls 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.000 at the pro level, but he can hit and he 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.040 is a good athlete. He's probably gonna be a corner 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.960 outfielder though, which is another reason why he'd. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.560 Fall yes a right handed corner outfielder, which means you 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.719 have a lot of hurdles to overcome to be a 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.920 first division regular fifty future value player, especially because if 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.640 you watch Aiden Robbins swing, a lot of the prognosticators 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.120 have gone through this. It's an incredibly unorthodox movement in 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:34.960 the box. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:35.760 Big leg kick. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.679 He kind of leans back and then he kind of 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.800 just like scoops under the ball consistently. It's the kind 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.560 of thing that again led itself to significantly higher with 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.080 rate once he went from the Big East to the SEC, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.400 and I likely we will only get higher as Nawie 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.920 transitions from the SEC to pro ball, and it's something 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.200 that for him likely to actually become an everyday player 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.000 at the major league level, it will be on the 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.640 Mets to fully reworking his swing, allow him to keep 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.920 his power and improve his contact rate, because he was 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.719 a guy who had one of the highest barrel rates 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.120 in the entire country. Shout Out Nash Nash talks Texas's 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.880 where her countter is posting a lot of a lot 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.080 of Texas Bengal follows him post a lot of Texas, Yeah, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.920 a lot of Texas advanced data and showed that Robbins 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.520 had in the SEC. I think I think these are 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.400 all for the SEC, because that's all the SEC people 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:24.000 care about. Ninety six percent barrel rate, ninety percent, ninety 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.280 percent of average exit velocity, ninety percentile regular average exit 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.800 velocity like ninety percent I expected wOBA, but the highest 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.400 track out rate and one of the lowest whift rates 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.559 in zone with rates out of zone, with rates, poor 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.040 chase rate. That's kind of a mess. But when you 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.960 think about a third round pick like, you're not getting 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.120 a fully complete, finished, amazing product either. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.920 Many people have this problem. I want to eat healthy. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.120 I have the willpower, I don't have the time and 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.160 the organization. I need help. What do you do? 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.400 I mean you go to factor. I got two boys 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.280 that are looking for the gains and they always come 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.520 in the house, which I'm looking for food. Now they 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.040 have actual healthy food that is great for them and 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.319 you know what, it's ready in the fridge for them 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.199 to pop in and make it right away. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.320 And they have meals built around your goals. It could 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.720 be weight loss, overall nutrition gains more protein, fresh never frozen, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:22.400 over one hundred rotating weekly meals, including globally inspired flavors 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.280 like Mediterranean and Asian. I get all kinds of different 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:29.120 salads from Factor that I love, quick easy. They can 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.520 be ready in two minutes. Head to Factor Meals dot com. 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.120 Slash foul fifty off and use code foul fifty off 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.840 to get fifty percent off and free daily greens per 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.120 box with new subscription only, while supplies last until nine 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.560 twenty seven, twenty twenty six. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.200 No in the Mets over the last few years, in 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.600 their second third, fourth round, they've gotten guys that haven't 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.840 been complete products, and the minor league system has turned 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.240 them out in two very good major league players Noel McLain, Ajewing, 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.160 just to name a few. So let's see what happens 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.680 with Aiden Robbins again. I like the the stone that's there, 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.880 which is hit ball hard, hit ball in the air, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.720 take a big swing like. Those are all things that 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.920 I like. Now we start to talk about some of 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.880 the more interesting picks. Keeping it in the State of Texas. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.840 Left handed pitcher Shane Sadao. Is that how he pronounced 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.439 his last name? 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.480 I believe so. I thought it was Siddoh. I'll try 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.800 and get a pronunciation for you. When Phil a buster here? 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.600 Yeah, but from Texas, A and M another guy who's 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.560 thera was high in college. But what do we not 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.520 care about especially in college baseball? 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:25.360 James Era. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.200 Yeah, Brian was the zra a cal Polly like six 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:33.320 like ers, Yes, sideo, sideo. Okay, So Shane Sedeo, he's 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.160 being comped to Zach Thornton right now, which is kind 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:36.880 of funny. I think he's got a little more juice 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.240 though on the fastball than Thornton. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.520 He doesn't have the juice yet. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.400 He's the kind of thing with thora and Eric Logan 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.520 hanging from Fangress made this comparison where the Mets saw 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.040 a lefty with tremendous command and you think, if you 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.600 can get two or three more miles per hour out 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.280 of him, you get a guy who's a good mid 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.880 rotation star there. And I thought he was, like I 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.199 thought he topped outbout ninety seven. I think he did 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:56.080 a top doesn't matter. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.360 He was a sit in. That matters. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.560 He was a sit in ninety ninety one to ninety three. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.680 Guy that's with this top maybe matters if you're gonna 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.400 wind up in the bullpen. And I think the theme 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.080 for a lot of these Mets pitchers where again guys 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.559 who you kind of have to squint to see their 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.760 potential in the rotation in the future. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.320 But with why the eyes, you can. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.199 See all of them being tremendous relievers. A lot of 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.680 people have lamented the fact that Mets still can't develop relievers, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.880 so hey, maybe that happens. But again, the hope is 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.800 here that he does the Thornton thing where he maintains 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.320 great command as a lefty and develops more so more 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.440 velocity to become a more regular starting pitcher. But even 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.560 low nineties, that fastball has a really nice shape. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:32.720 It comes from a low slot. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.440 A lot of the scouts, Tyler Jennings from Just Baseball 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.120 saying this lot he comes from a wacky angle. It's 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.560 a kind of a low slot relief and he has 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.320 a big extension with a weird horizontal release pointe Shawm 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.640 and I is Zac Thornton, so it's not fully sideum 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.120 though he's much more higher a release angle than Shaan 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.880 and I. But some cool videos from behind Home played 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.360 again from Tyler Jennings, showed that he also really hides 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.040 the ball super well, like he comes around and the 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.000 ball doesn't come from back here until the last seconds. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.200 It's very difficult to pick up. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.280 He also has a color which is funny, very similar 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.400 to very similar thorn. And he also has a low 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.760 eighty sweeper. So again, if you can add two more 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.920 Tikes to all of these pitches, I do think you 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.680 have a big time pitcher. He also had elbow surgery 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.720 after twenty four. He missed all of twenty five I 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.720 remember correctly too, So not a lot of mile John 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.760 nolarm either, which is a big trend also for a 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.240 lot of the pictures in this Mets class. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.440 Well, you know, round five we went with another SEC guy, 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.480 so you see, I think we went SEC for the 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.560 first cross. Five picks, So you got me a lot 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.120 of SEC. It's the best conference in college. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.240 Six picks, say six rounds, five picks. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.160 Luke McNeely coming in. Next relief picture out of the 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.080 University of Florida. Wow, where have I heard that before? 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.480 A right handed relief picture of the University of Florida, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.440 drafted by the Mets. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.240 The thing that's. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.600 Crazy is that he also looks just like Christian Scott inexactly, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.840 like exactly the way that he is as a prospects 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.120 the relief pitcher again from Florida, go and convert them 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.200 back to his starter, classic, high spin fastball from a 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.760 low slot, athletic delivery. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:56.520 Bit of the. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.040 Smaller, slighter guy compared to these other dudes we drafted. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.360 I have more our sizes on the guys later on 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.760 we drafted hash hosses across the board. But I think 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.720
