A big talking point for New York Mets fans has been the power of the farm system. Thanks to some quality development of players and strong draft picks, the organization has become one of the more noteworthy with promising young players on the way to the show.
How did this last year's class finish 2025? While we wait to find out what the big league Mets do next, let's check in on the early returns of their 2025 draft and the first five picks they made.
Did the Mets find any gems in last year's draft?
Mitch Voit - Round 1
Taken in the first round, Mitch Voit ended up with 22 games and 99 plate appearances in St. Lucie. He hit one home run, batting .235/.343/.294 and was off and running with 20 stolen bases in 21 tries. The stolen bases were the biggest surprise as he had only 19 in his college career.
Antonio Jimenez - Round 3
The Mets didn't pick again until round three when they took infielder Antonio Jimenez. Homerless in 110 trips to the plate for St. Lucie, outperformed Voit with a .263/.345/.274 slash line while adding 8 stolen bases.
Peter Kussow - Round 4
Check back in a few months. Peter Kussow didn't see action. Not uncommon for pitchers because of the added wear the position takes on their arms, we'll get our first look at him in 2026. He's out of high school so it may take a little longer before we see him in the upper minor leagues let alone in the majors.
Peyton Prescott - Round 5
Possibly named after a high school villain from a 1990s film, Peyton Prescott is another draft pick who didn't end up appearing in a game. A college pitcher who logged 36.2 innings for Florida State, he'll give us our first taste next year. The numbers were a bit alarming with a 5.15 ERA overall. His 11.3 K/9 was likely one of the factors to catch the eye of scouts.
Noah Hall - Round 6
You guessed it. Another pitcher, another absent stat sheet. Hall pitched only 14.2 innings in college in 2025, coming away with a 3.07 ERA. Only 29.1 total frames as a college player, the Mets took for talent over results.
Not a whole lot to go off of, the Mets took a cautious approach with the pitchers and let the hitters pick up where they left off. Like some of their recent drafts, it feels like we could have some so-so prospects at the time and hidden treasures from the later rounds.
