While the New York Mets may own one of the best pitching rotations in the league, their pool of young hurlers has certainly been thinned out over the last few seasons.
Since Brodie Van Wagenen took over as the general manager after the 2018 campaign, the Mets have traded away a number of young arms including Anthony Kay, Simeon Woods Richardson and Justin Dunn.
Luckily, Van Wagenen and his staff will have a chance to restock their minor-league system during next month’s first-year player draft. With just five rounds in 2020, the Mets can’t afford to miss with either of their first two picks this year.
