  • Each team's best prospect in Rookie ball For the Mets it is "Jesus Baez, SS/3B (No. 10): Just a $275,000 signing in January 2022, Baez instantly jumped out in the pros, becoming the Mets’ DSL Player of the Year after hitting .242/.341/.403 with seven homers in 54 games. Even at just 5-foot-9, he possesses above-average power potential, and his plus arm makes him a fit for the left side of the infield, though he’s sprinkled in some second base too. Baez heads stateside for the first time this summer in the FCL."

National Pastime.com: 

1965
In the inaugural free-agent draft of high school and college players, the Mets' first pick is southpaw Les Rohr, who due to an arm injury compiles only a 2-3 career mark pitching for the team in parts of three seasons. Later in the day, New York makes a better choice, selecting future Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan in the eighth round.
1968
The Giants' Bat Day at Candlestick Park is postponed when the Mets refuse to play their scheduled game in San Francisco, out of respect for recently assassinated New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy, whose funeral is being held today. Prompted by baseball commissioner William Eckert's edict to cancel games only taking place in New York and Washington, the team, led by first baseman Ed Kranepool, had voted to take this action, even under the threat of forfeiting the contest, a decision that is fully supported by manager Gil Hodges and the organization.

2007
With their 3-0 victory over Detroit at Comerica Park, the Mets begin a span of 18 games to become the first team in baseball history to play six consecutive series against six different clubs that all participated in the playoffs the previous season. New York will compile an 8-10 record during the stretch playing against the Tigers, Dodgers, Yankees, Twins, A's, and the Cardinals.
2011
The Mets select Brandon Nimmo as the 13th overall player chosen in the MLB June Amateur Draft, making him the first Wyoming student ever to be picked in the first round. The 18 year-old, who could not play for a Cheyenne East HS team because the Equality State does not offer high school baseball programs, batted .448 with fifteen home runs and 34 stolen bases in 70 games for his American Legion Post 6 club.

2016
Kelly Johnson becomes the only second player in baseball history to be traded from one team to another in consecutive seasons when the Mets obtained him from the Braves for minor league right-hander Akeel Morris and cash. Backstop Chad Kreuter was dealt by the White Sox to the Angels in 1997 and then again in 1998.


Baseball Reference:

1965 - Arizona State star sophomore Rick Monday, selected by the Kansas City Athletics, is the first player chosen in the initial major league free-agent draft of high school, college, and sandlot players. Picking second, the Mets take pitcher Les Rohr. In the 10th round, they finally take Nolan Ryan. Cincinnati picks Johnny Bench in the second round.

2013: For only the second time in major league history, two games go 18 innings on the same day. First, the Blue Jays defeat the Rangers, 4 - 3, when Rajai Davis drives in Emilio Bonifacio with a two-out single in the 18th inning. Ross Wolf is the unlucky loser after 6 2/3 innings of work. It's the longest game in both teams' history, but it's not even the longest on the day, as the Marlins need 20 innings to defeat the Mets, 2 - 1, tying for the longest game in their history, and the longest played at Citi Field. Adeiny Hechevarria drives in the go-ahead run and Steve Cishek gets the final out after 6 hours and 20 minutes. The game almost ends in the 12th, but Marlins RF Marcell Ozuna throws Daniel Murphy out at the plate to prolong the game. Starters Shaun Marcum and Kevin Slowey then come in to pitch in the 13th, and both pitch scoreless ball until the 20th. Marcum falls to 0-7 in spite of his tremendous effort.
