Ep. 44 - Converted Catcher to Draft Pick: Nathan Hall's Journey to the Mound

In our continuing episode of our D2 draft pick series, here's our interview with Central Missouri RHP Nathan Hall, who was selected in the 6th round by the New York Mets!Hall's story is one of recent transformations, having converted from a catcher to a pitcher, a move that appears to be paying dividends despite a current setback.Hall's potential truly shined in his 2025 season at Central Missouri. Though limited to just 14.2 innings across 4 starts, he showcased a tantalizing arsenal, highlighted by a fastball that consistently sat in the mid-to-upper 90s. This velocity, combined with a sharp 3.07 ERA during that stretch, demonstrates the significant upside the Mets are clearly banking on. In those 14.2 innings, he recorded 19 strikeouts, further showcasing his swing-and-miss stuff.Currently rehabbing from an injury, Hall represents a high-ceiling prospect for the Mets, who are undoubtedly optimistic about his future once fully healthy. His selection also adds another name to Central Missouri's proud baseball history, as he becomes the 38th draft pick in the school's storied program and one of three taken in this draft (most in the State of Missouri). Hall is also the highest draft pick since 2005 (Josh Webber - 2nd round) and third highest overall in Central Missouri program history.
