The Mets drafted Desmond Lindsay in the 2nd round this year from the Out-Of-Door Academy in Florida. MMO’s own Quinn Barry profiled the center fielder here. His start to the year was delayed because he was rehabbing a hamstring injury in Port St. Lucie.
While Desmond technically made his debut yesterday because the GCL Mets game was suspended in the bottom of the first inning. Today he finally got his first pro at bat and didn’t disappoint with a single in the middle of a two-run 2nd inning rally. He was caught trying to steal 2nd base to end the rally.
In his second at bat he walked with a runner on in the 4th inning before striking out in the 7th inning and the 9th inning in his final at bat of the game. He played all 9 innings in center field and caught three flies balls that were hit to him. Box Score
Matt Reynolds who was placed on the 7-day disabled list by Las Vegas on July 8th with an elbow injury. He was in the GCL Mets lineup yesterday in the DH slot batting 2nd before the game was suspended. When the game resumed today he was replaced in the lineup. Reynolds is hitting .270/.327/.410 for the year but mustering only a slash line of .229/.279/.361 away from Cashman Field.
Josh Prevost, the Mets 2014 5th rounder, was the starter for the Mets in the suspended game seeing his rehab appearance cut short after one scoreless inning. Josh was 2-4 with 4.00 ERA and 1.267 WHIP for Savannah in 7 starts to begin this season, he has yet to allow a homerun in 65 pro innings.
