The team completed its draft haul yesterday, with most of the attention being focused on their first two draft picks, outfielder Jarred Kelenic and pitcher Simeon Woods-Richardson. The Mets have actually drawn praise for the work they did on the second day of the draft, with MLB.com&#8217;s Jim Callis rating them among the five teams that got the best haul in rounds three through ten.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_819349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-819349\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img alt=\"New York Mets' Day Two Draft Haul Draws Praise From Experts\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-819349\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.usatodaysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2018\/06\/usatsi_10876253.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-819349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jun 5, 2018; New York City, NY, USA; General view of Citi Field as the sun sets during the fifth inning between the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles.

Gilliam, who throws a fastball that sits between 91-96 miles per hour with an excellent curve, could be (according to Callis) one of the first players drafted this year to reach the major leagues. de Oca, while wild, has a fastball that can reach 100 miles per hour. Callis also noted that the Mets&#8217; third round pick, 2B Carlos Cortes from South Carolina, has tremendous hitting ability but needs to find a home on defense. Sixth round catcher Nick Meyer out of Cal Poly also drew praise from Callis for being the best defensive catcher in the draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets aren&#8217;t doing much winning on the field, but it seems like their beleaguered scouting staff may&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":819349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[547148942],"tags":[610259249,610259252,610259250,610259248,190106,14441,610259253,610259251],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New York Mets&#039;
