From Complex To Queens, Episode 282: 2024 Draft Reactions, Day 3

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, Home Run Applesauce’s podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system. It’s part 3 of our draft coverage (Day 1 and Day 2 podcasts here), with discussion of picks in rounds 11 - 20. They Mets did some interesting things here, including taking a short, small college performer with good metrics (Lukas’ favorite demographic), snagging a very injured arm who had top-3 round buzz at one point, and perhaps unearthed a exciting prep pitching convert (kudos to Thomas for the detective work). After digging through those and other picks, we move to our general impressions of the draft as a whole. Steve is not a fan, but Thomas and Lukas see a lot of positives, including signs that the Mets have handed controls to the right people and are developing more robust processes. We close on discussion of some other drafts we liked, with shout outs for the Diamondbacks, Tigers, Brewers, and Reds as well as, of course the Guardians.
