The Mets selected 14 pitchers during the 2025 MLB Draft, including 12 righthanders and two lefties. This selection encompassed 10 players from Division I colleges, one from Division II, and three high schoolers. The Mets aimed for a mix of high-ceiling high school pitchers and college pitchers with notable arm strength. Their draft strategy evolved as they unexpectedly acquired multiple pitchers, including high schooler Peter Kussow and two pitchers recovering from elbow surgeries. The team is hopeful these selections, particularly the injured pitchers, provide value within their limited budget.
Mets selected 14 pitchers in the 2025 MLB Draft, including 12 righthanders and 2 lefties. Kris Gross stated the team acquired a blend of talent.
They focused on high school pitchers with potential and college pitchers with velocity. Their fourth-round pick, Peter Kussow, is a promising high school righthander.
Mets also selected two righthanders recovering from elbow surgeries, Peyton Prescott and Nathan Hall, hoping to capitalize on potential affordability due to their injuries.
Prescott previously threw over 100 mph, while Hall consistently hit the high 90s before their injuries, raising their appeal in the draft.
