00:00that's took 12 pitchers in this draft of their 19 selections the Mets could always use some more
00:05pitchers we we know that but Joe for you why do you think they focused on that in this draft
00:11was
00:11they were they just looking at what they've had in the farm system and maybe some of the
00:15slight regression they saw this year from certain pitchers and said hey we need to stock up more
00:19there why do you think they took so many pitchers in this draft I think on average pitchers do
00:24dominate the MLB draft not just the Mets just you know across the landscape at the end of the day
00:29every single game that's played at every single minor leaguer there needs to be somebody standing
00:34on the rubber throwing the baseball to a catcher so you you need a bunch of pitchers to get through
00:39the minor league season and obviously nowadays there's just so much data and information on
00:45pitchers that you could get excited about guys that aren't even high draft picks that just have some
00:50super good stuff so I think it's one of those things that you just always draft a lot of pitchers
00:55honestly I thought the Mets were going to draft more pitchers than they did it was 12 pitchers
01:00seven position players I thought that might be more 13 or 14 on the pitcher side but yeah I think
01:06it's just one of those things they like a lot of pitchers they trust their pitching development system
01:10and there's just always a need for pitchers not just eventually at the major league level
01:15but to play minor league baseball games
01:17you
