Spring training will be a learning experience for Nick Meyer

Born in Southern California, Nick Meyer would attend Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Rancho Santa Margarita, and then after graduating, California Polytechnic State University. In his three years as a Mustang, he hit a combined, .297/.363/.373 while playing exemplary defense behind the plate. The Mets selected him with their 6th round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and the two sides agreed to a $350,000 signing bonus, almost $65,000 above the Major League Baseball-assigned slot value. He played the rest of the summer in Coney Island with the Cyclones and hit .226/.275/.270 in 43 games.
