Mets Draft Justin Dunn With 19th Pick in First Round

Last night, the New York Mets selected RHP Justin Dunn out of Boston College with the 19th overall pick in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft. Dunn is 6'2" and weighs 185 pounds. His best pitch is his fastball, which ranges from 92-95 miles per hour, but he can throw up it as hard as 98-99 miles per hour. In addition to his fastball, Dunn features two other breaking balls, a solid hard slider and a three quarters-curve. He has an average changeup, which he will use on occasion. His command can be inconsistent as times, but his dominant stuff can help make up for it. He is compared to Royals starter Yordano Ventura for his athleticism and that he is a right-hander who is somewhat undersized.
