In a shocking and very exciting development, the Mets selected Vanderbilt right hand pitcher Kumar Rocker with the tenth pick of the first round. Rocker was often in the conversation for the first overall pick earlier in the year before his stock slipped a bit, but was still well inside the top-10 across most draft lists (7th on Fangraphs, 8th on Baseball Prospectus, 5th on Baseball America). A couple teams chose to reach down the draft board ahead of the Mets, allowing Rocker to fall into their lap.
Needless to say, this is a great get for the Mets.
