Overview

• The Mets used their late first-round pick, slotted 38th after exceeding the competitive-balance tax, to select two-way prospect Mitch Voit.
• Voit posted a .346/.471/.668 slash line with 14 home runs and a 1.140 OPS in 56 games as a junior at Michigan.
• He pitched in relief and as a starter during his first two college seasons before sitting out on the mound as a junior.
• Signing terms remain pending, and the team has yet to outline a plan for his hitting and pitching duties.
• The pick underscores the Mets’ emphasis on roster versatility under constrained draft spending.
