Round 20, Pick 633: Dylan Owen
Dylan Owen (RHP - Francis Marion University)
Dylan features a fastball that sits around 88-91, topping out at 93. His slider is his (strike)out pitch, sitting at 78-82. He also throws a curve and change. His curve sits 73-76, while his change is between 79-83. He feels he needs to work on throwing the fastball inside more, and also get more comfortable throwing any pitch inside.
And here are Coach Chris Calciano's (GCSU) thoughts on a rival pitcher the Mets drafted, Dylan Owen.
The Mets took another kid from our Conference Dylan Owen, who is in Brooklyn right now. I really like that kid!!! He can flat out pitch. Plus slider that is 80-83 and an excellent strikeout pitch. His fastball is 89-92 with some movement.
Both kids are physically a bit smaller than you would like, but mechanically they are solid and should not breakdown with injuries!!

Round 25, Pick 783: Nicholas "Cole" Abbott
Nicholas Cole Abbott (RHP - Weber HS)
Thanks to Mark Larsen @ Weber for the info
Record 7-2
ERA 1.77
OPP BA .199
Strike Outs 86
IP 55.2
Runs 15
Earned Runs 12
Hits 40
BB's 23
Tall athletic pitcher with a fastball in the low 90's. Has touched 93 on several occasions. Above average slider that he can throw for strikes in any count. Cole only weighs about 170 pounds. As he matures and grows he has the frame to easily carry 200-210 pounds. When he develops his legs, his velocity should go up and he will be able to go much deeper in games. Cole is very athletic and very competitive. These two attributes will allow him to learn and develop at a much faster pace than a lot of pitchers. Seems to be very natural on the mound. Needs to develop a third pitch. Has the ability to throw a decent change up, but lacks the confidence to throw it in games.
When Cole misses he misses up and tends to put himself in bad counts. Needs to tweak his grip a little to be able to get some movement on his fastball. As he gets better and throws more innings, I have complete confidence that he will be successful as a professional, and he will
learn to get great hitters out.

Round 27, Pick 843: Kyle Catto
Kyle Catto (RHP - Southern Illinois University)
Thanks to Dan Callahan at Southern Illinois University.
I'm not sure what to tell you. Kyle did not throw for us the past five or so weeks of our season. He had some tendonitis. When he's healthy, he will run his fastball up there around 92-93, and he had two outings where he was throwing an 85 mph slider with good tilt. When he's "good," he also throws a split, which can be his out pitch. His arm is fluid and loose and at times he does not command the strike zone like he is capable. When he is on he is a GOOD pro guy.
