Who else did the Mets snag in the draft?

Andrew Chuch

After selecting 1B Dominic Smith in the first round of the draft, the Mets decided to draft several high school players with their next few picks. 

With the 48th Overall pick, the team drafted 18 year old pitcher Andrew Church, who is listed as 6' 3" 200 lbs. His fastball has been clocked in the low 90s, and he also throws a changeup and a curveball.

"We feel like he a chance to be a solid middle of the rotation starter," Paul DePodesta, Mets VP of Player Development and Amateur Scouting, said. "Three pitches, all for strikes, with a plus breaking ball. He could work a lot of innings. He fits into our overall pitching philosophy."

Baseball America recently listed Church as their 89th best prospect. Church will attend the University of San Diego if the Mets fail to sign him.

In the third round, the Mets selected high school outfielder Ivan Wilson. Wilson is listed as 6' 3" 220 lbs. Scouts have raved about his good bat speed, with a great arm.

Keith Law of ESPN recently said this about Wilson "Wilson is all kinds of raw right now, but for a team that likes to draft athletic kids and try to teach them how to play baseball, he's got enough ceiling to be appealing in the third round or so."

With the 84th overall selection, the Mets drafted Casey Meisner, a pitcher out of Cypress Woods High School. Meisner is listed as 6' 7" and 190 lbs. Despite his powerful arm, he is currently committed to Texas Tech, and it may be hard to pry him away from college.

In the fourth round, the Mets selected 2B L.J. Mazzilli. Mazzilli, who is the son of former Met Lee Mazzilli, is a senior signing out of college, so the Mets should be able to sign him relatively soon. 

In the fifth round, the team selected left fielder Jared King out of Kansas State University. King is a switch hitter, and is listed as 6' 1" 200 lbs at 21 years of age. As sophomore this season, he hit .377 with 47 RBI in 56 games. He was listed as the 68th best prospect by Baseball America.

"I thought he was at worst a third round pick." said Jonathon Mayo of MLB.com.
