A look back at what the Mets did in the 2015 draft

With Major League Baseball's amateur draft set to begin this evening, let's take a look back at what the Mets did in the draft the last time around. Last year, the Mets did not have a first-round draft pick in last year's draft, forfeiting it after signing free agent Michael Cuddyer. With their second-round pick, the Mets selected Desmond Lindsay, a toolsy high school outfielder from Florida. The 18-year-old debuted with the GCL Mets and hit and impressive .304/.400/.464 in 21 games. He was promoted to the Brooklyn Cyclones to finish the season, and hit .200/.308/.267 in 14 games. He has yet to debut in 2016.

In the third round, the Mets selected Max Wotell, an athletic high school pitcher with a projectable body and unique mechanics. The southpaw made his debut with the GCL Mets and appeared in nine games. In those nine games, he put up a 2.53 ERA in 10.2 innings, walking nine and striking out 16. He has yet to debut in 2016.

Here's the complete table of the Mets' 2015 draft picks.

With their fourth-round pick, the Mets selected David Thompson, a slugging third baseman from the University of Miami whose stock fell somewhat due to a thoracic outlet syndrome diagnosis, a condition he underwent surgery to correct. Thompson debuted with the Brooklyn Cyclones and hit an underwhelming .218/.268/.320 in 59 games. He was promoted to the Columbia Fireflies to start the 2016 season, and through mid-May, the slugger is hitting an impressive .302/.372/.488.

With their fifth-round pick, the Mets selected Thomas Szapucki, a high school pitcher with an excellent fastball and an excellent slider, but poor mechanics. The left-hander debuted with the GCL Mets and appeared in three games, posting a 15.43 ERA in 2.1 innings, walking none and striking out three. He has yet to debut in 2016.

With their sixth-round pick, the Mets drafted Chase Ingram, a junior college right-handed pitcher with a fringe-average fastball but a pair of offspeed pitches in his curveball and changeup that project to be solid offerings. He made his professional debut with the Kingsport Mets, appearing in 12 games. In those games, he posted a 3.60 ERA in 20 innings, walking 10 and striking out 27. He was promoted to the Columbia Fireflies to start the 2016 season, and through mid-May, has posted a 3.72 ERA in 29 innings, walking 11 and striking out 36.

The Mets took Corey Taylor, a Texas Tech senior now pitching out of the bullpen, in the seventh round.

With their eighth-round pick, the Mets took Patrick Mazeika, a work-in-progress catcher from Stetson University. He made his professional debut with the Kingsport Mets, hitting an impressive .354/.451/.540 in 21 games.

In the ninth round, the Mets drafted Kevin Kaczmarski, a senior from the University of Evansville and the son of former minor league infielder Randy Kaczmarski. Kevin made his professional debut with the Kingsport Mets, hitting an excellent .355/.415/.512 in 64 games. He was promoted to the Columbia Fireflies to start the 2016 season, and through mid-May, is hitting .219/.321/.329 in 20 games.

The Mets drafted Witt Haggard, an athletic right-hander from Delta State University who was previously the backup quarterback at Ole Miss, in the tenth round.

With their thirteenth-round pick, the Mets selected P.J. Conlon, a southpaw born in Northern Ireland who fits the classic profile of a finesse lefty, possessing a fringe-average fastball, various offspeed pitches, solid control, and a high baseball IQ. He made his 2015 debut with the Brooklyn Cyclones, appearing in 17 games. In those games, he posted a perfect 0.00 ERA in 17 innings, walking two and striking out 25.

The Mets selected Sixto Torres in the seventeenth round. He was a high school left-hander from Florida with mid-rotation potential thanks to a mid-90s fastball and developing secondary pitches that show potential to be more than just fringe offerings.

In the twenty-eighth round, the Mets selected Anthony Dimino, a work-in-progress catcher from Belmont Abbey College who relies on his contact ability to put balls in play. He made his 2015 debut with the GCL Mets, hitting .295/.380/.343 in 30 games. He has yet to make his 2016 debut.

With their twenty-ninth-round pick, the Mets selected Seth Davis, a strike-throwing college southpaw with a good curveball but virtually no physical projection due to his diminutive size. He made his 2015 debut with the Kingsport Mets, appearing in 11 games. In those games, he posted a 2.79 ERA in 19.1 innings, walking three and striking out 22.
