2018 New York Mets first round draft pick Jarred Kelenic made his professional debut this morning for the Gulf Coast League Mets, going 3-for-4 with a triple, RBI and two runs scored.

Kelenic, 18, batted third and was the designated hitter.

The Wisconsin native signed with New York on June 15 for $4.5 million, significantly under the $5,525,200 slot value for the No. 6 pick.

The left-handed hitter was widely regarded as the best prep bat heading into the draft and was ranked as the No. 6 draft prospect by Keith Law and No. 8 by FanGraphs.
