The MLB Draft doesn’t carry the same prestige as the other four major sports. Even the NHL’s Draft has become bigger because of how impactful the choice can immediately be. We know anyone the New York Mets may select this week won’t be available to play in the big leagues for some time. Extreme cases of a player going immediately to the major leagues are minimal. The Mets have never done it nor would they have the same opportunity in 2025 with where they’re picking.
If you’re planning to follow the 2025 MLB Draft, it’ll be a while before you see the Mets take a player.
