The Mets will hope high-school shortstop Colin Houck and Florida Gators pitcher Brandon Sproat were worth the waits.
SEATTLE — The Mets will hope Colin Houck and Brandon Sproat were worth the waits.
Houck was rated the 12th-best prospect overall by MLB Pipeline after he hit .487 with eight home runs and 16 stolen bases in his senior season.Houck was Gatorade’s Georgia Player of the Year in baseball but impressed in football, too. Last year, they selected the righty in the third round but did not come to an agreement for a contract.The Mets were one of two teams that did not have a true first-round selection this year.
Francisco Lindor is entrenched as the big-league shortstop, while No. 2 prospect Ronny Mauricio has begun playing second base and left field at Triple-A Syracuse.
