Mets Drafted Legends Who Made History | MLB News
Description
The Mets’ draft legacy is stacked with legends—David Wright, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo paved the way, while recent gems like Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing hint at future greatness. Nolan Ryan, though traded early, anchored the 1969 World Series champs and earned a ring. Jacob deGrom, a ninth-round steal, became a Cy Young king—even if injuries shadowed his peak. David Wright, a compensatory pick turned All-Star cornerstone, remains a Hall of Fame candidate despite a shortened career. And rounding out the top: Dwight Gooden, the 1986 ace and Rookie of the Year, and Darryl Strawberry, the first overall pick and power-hitting star—both retired together, their brilliance overshadowed only by personal struggles.
