The Mets continue with their post MLB draft signing spree by signing OF Quinn Brodey, their third round pick.
The organization used their No. 97 pick to choose Brody, a junior at Stanford University. This past season, the 6’1″ lefty right fielder hit .314 with 11 home runs and 51 runs batted in. He held a .317 OBP and actually hit two inside-the-park home runs.
According to Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com, the Met signed Brody on Friday. He signed for $500,000 and the No. 97 pick was valued at $553, 200.
This signing comes just a couple of days after the Mets signed their second-round pick, third baseman/shortstop, Mark Vientos.
