Mets Draft Moves and Pitching Setbacks | New York Mets News

The Mets kick off their 2025 draft with a splash, snagging two-way phenom Mitch Voit at 38th overall for $1.75M — he’s already showing speed with 20 steals in 21 attempts. After forfeiting their second-round pick due to signing Juan Soto, they land shortstop Antonio Jimenez in round three, though he’s struggled in High-A before being sent back down. Pitching woes hit hard: high school ace Peter Kussow’s season ended with shoulder surgery, and Peyton Prescott’s recovery from Tommy John continues. But there’s hope — Cam Tilly’s pitching with St. Lucie, and Nathan Hall’s back on the mound for the FCL Mets. With players like Wyatt Vincent rising and Truman Pauley already traded, the Mets’ draft class is shaping up to be a mix of promise and potential pitfalls.
