Sitting in second place in the Gulf Coast League East Division, your GCL Mets going 5-5 over their last 10 hasn’t hurt them much, still sitting at 2 1/2 games out in this, the young season’s first month.
You’ve already read about Jarred Kelenic plenty in the Kingsport Mets thread, so I won’t belabor the point. Suffice to say his pants first caught fire with the Gulfers. But he wasn’t alone.
Do you like power-hitting catchers? Sure, everybody does! Well how about Luis Lebron, who has already hit three homers in the season’s first 10 games. Luis is pounding it to the tune of .310 / .375 / .621 // .996, and even has a pair of stolen bases. No fooling!
But pitchers are what gets you hot, right? Well, I give you Willy Taveras. Willy hasn’t been playing around. Through four starts, Willy has thrown 22 innings, yielding only a 1.23 ERA, walking 8, but striking out 25. Little Willy won’t be going home any time soon as along as he puts up numbers like that. But he has earned a promotion to Kingsport.
But who’s gonna finish?! You’ve got to ask! Because here in the GCL, it’s rare a pitcher gets to go much more than five innings. Well, I give you Ronnie Taylor, Jr. Not the son of 1969’s Dr. Ron Taylor, this RT hails from Allen, Texas and was the Mets' 40th and last draft pick from 2017. Now he’s pitching like a first-rounder, giving up only one earned run in his first 12 innings, striking out 10. Yeah, he’s walked 7, but you can get away with that when you’re holding opponents to a .116 batting average.
Even as first-rounder Kelenic has torn the cover off the ball, second-rounder Simeon Woods-Richardson has been hanging around for over two weeks and has yet to appear.
Bored with the Mets' present? Well, go down to St. Lucie, check out the Mets' future, watch the kids kick ass, hang out with manager David Davalillo and report back to us on your adventures. Maybe you can get some pictures to replace all these silhouettes.
