The MLB Draft will begin on July 11. Two of the big names are Jack Leiter, Al's son, and Kumar Rocker, both SP from Vanderbilt and both will be gone by the time the Mets pick at 10.
Fangraphs, ESPN and CBS Sports have the Mets taking Matt McLain, a SS from UCLA.

Obviously, the Mets have a SS so McLaine would have to move to 2B or the OF. He's 5'11", 180 but has some power as well as speed.

ESPN wrote, on June 18:
The Mets are also casting a wide net since it's unclear who is really the best prospect at this juncture and teams are doing deep dives later than usual due to the lack of information. In this scenario, the Mets get their pick of the three college bats in this range (passing on center fielders Sal Frelick and Colton Cowser). They're considering Texas RHP Ty Madden, and the hot rumor is they have been piling in recently to see rising Indiana prep SS Colson Montgomery, who could be an underslot option here.Keith Law in The Athletic's last mocked on May 13 and he has McLain going at 7. Law predicts that the Mets will take care of business and draft Sam Bachman, a SP from Miami. He had a great 2021 season and strikes out a lot of batters.
