Mets' 2022 MLB Draft Guide and Top Prospects to Target

The New York Mets have the No. 11 and No. 14 overall picks in the 2022 draft, with the No. 11 pick coming as compensation for failing to sign Kumar Rocker as the No. 10 pick in last year's draft.

The last time the Mets had multiple first-round picks was in 2016 when they selected Boston College right-hander Justin Dunn (No. 19 overall) and UConn left-hander Anthony Kay (No. 31 overall). Both players were traded in blockbuster deals before reaching the majors.

Who might the Mets be targeting this time around with their multiple picks?

Ahead we've broken down three prospects who should be on their radar in the 2022 MLB draft.

There's a very real chance that when the New York Mets are on the clock at No. 11 overall, there will still not have been a single pitcher drafted.

There has never been a draft class where zero pitchers were taken inside the top 10, but a rash of injuries to an already-thin pitching crop this spring has made it increasingly likely, and that puts the Mets in a great position to have their pick of arms.

Michigan prep right-hander Brock Porter is widely regarded as the best pitcher in the class with a fastball that has touched 100 mph; a slider, curveball and changeup that all have a chance to be plus secondary offerings; and a projectable 6'4", 208-pound frame.

The high school righty profile is always a risky one, but the Mets are in a great position to take the risk.

There is no such thing as too much catching talent, and teams don't draft for positional need in the MLB draft, so the presence of Francisco Alvarez in the Mets farm system won't preclude them from drafting a catcher.

Georgia Tech standout Kevin Parada is the top catcher in the 2022 draft class thanks to his elite offensive game, but Daniel Susac might be the most well-rounded catching prospect in the draft.

The draft-eligible sophomore hit .366/.430/.582 with 19 doubles, 12 home runs and 61 RBI this spring, and with a 55-hit/55-power offensive profile and a plus throwing arm, he has a chance to make an impact on both sides of the ball.

He could be the perfect high-floor college player to pair with a risky high school pick if he's still on the board at No. 14 overall.

Jett Williams has some late helium leading up to the draft, and he now looks like a legitimate candidate to go somewhere in the 10-15 range as perhaps the third shortstop off the board after Jackson Holliday and Brooks Lee.

A quick-twitch athlete with an advanced hit tool, plus speed and the defensive tools necessary to stick at shortstop, he boosted his stock considerably with a strong summer last year, and he solidified his first-round standing this spring.

"One cross-checker called him the best hitter on the summer showcase circuit, where he raked despite an injury to his right shoulder," wrote MLB.com.

If he doesn't stick at shortstop, he'd be a clean fit at second base with the speed to also handle center field, so he'll go as far as his hit tool carries him.
