The Mets’ 2022 MLB Draft was an overall successful one littered with top prospects and current major league players.
Their first round was a mixed bag, however, taking Kevin Parada and Jett Williams at No. 11 and No. 14 overall, respectively. Parada has struggled so much in the minors he was left unprotected in the Rule 5 Draft last year and went unclaimed. He bounced up and down between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse and was inconsistent at the plate but he did end strong offensively, ultimately finishing with a .702 OPS on the season. He has struggled defensively and still has clear holes in his swing, though. Without further adjustments, it is hard to see a future in the major leagues for him, and he will likely remain unprotected in the Rule 5 Draft.
Jett Williams was a quick riser in the minors, and in 2025 he seemed poised to make noise in the majors in 2026, but his stock has fallen considerably this season with both Baseball America and Pipeline dropping him altogether from their most recent top 100 updates. The Mets traded him to the Milwaukee Brewers in a package for Freddy Peralta last offseason, and it would seem they sold high on him at the right time. Brandon Sproat was the other name dealt in the package. Sproat was drafted in the third round of the 2022 draft but did not sign, so he will be talked about more when reviewing 2023 when they drafted him again.

Jonah Tong was taken in the seventh round. He made his major league debut in 2025 with mixed results but looked better in 2026, pitching to a 3.82 ERA across seven appearances. He had mixed results in Triple-A this year, but everything seemed to come together towards the end of the season.
Blade Tidwell was taken in the second round and was up and down the minors. He flashed good stuff at times but was never able to command his pitches. He threw 15 innings in the majors with the Mets in 2025 to a 9.00 ERA before he was traded as part of the package for Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants at the 2025 deadline. He was not great in the majors in 2026, pitching to a 4.45 ERA across 56 2/3 innings and is scheduled to undergo Tommy John Surgery.
Before the 2026 season, Jacob Reimer was ranked the No. 70 prospect in baseball by Baseball Prospectus. He struggled heavily in the first month of the season but looked much better in the weeks leading up to his injury in June. When he returned from the injury, he looked better under the hood and slashed .280/.375/.434/.809.
Nick Morabito, taken in the second round, has made his major league debut, though it did not go well. Overall, he slashed .195/.283/.244 across 46 plate appearances.
12th-rounder Paul Gervase was traded for Tyler Zuber in 2024, who the Mets later DFA’d and has since bounced around. After a brief appearance with the Rays, Gervase was traded to the Dodgers and pitched a handful of innings in the majors for them. 14th-rounder Cameron Foster was also traded, this time for Gregory Soto in the 2025 season. Foster struggled heavily in 2026 at Triple-A and logged a 9.00 ERA in six appearances at the big league level for the Baltimore Orioles.
Tyler Stuart was taken in the sixth round and was traded for Jesse Winker in 2024. Winker played a large part in the Mets’ 2024 NLCS run, while Stuart missed the entirety of the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Before that, he was struggling in Triple-A with the Washington Nationals.
