Mets' JT Schwartz: Drafted by Mets

The Mets have selected Schwartz with the 111th overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft.

The UCLA first baseman stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 210 pounds. This past year was his first full college season and he hit .405 with seven home runs. Despite his size, Schwartz doesn't boast huge power. Rather, he is a disciplined hitter with a high-contact swing that misses few pitches in the strike zone. Past hip, knee and shoulder injuries are certainly a concern, but his skills at the plate are too enticing to ignore.
