What you should know: The Mets took a big chance taking Prescott with their fourth pick in the draft. The 21-year-old right-hander is known for being able to touch triple-digits on the radar gun with a slider in the 80s, a differential that could make any hitter look foolish.

Breaking down their pitching selections: 12 righthanders and a pair of lefties; 10 from Division I colleges, one from Division II and three high schoolers.

The Mets’ first pick was docked 10 spots from No. 28 to 38 because they exceeded the luxury tax threshold by more than $40 million last year
