| Colin Houck |
By David Groveman
The Mets spent their 32nd overall pick in the 2023 draft to bring aboard a shortstop named Colin Houck. The high school infielder boasted tremendous offensive numbers and athleticism that allowed him to perform as a two-sport athlete. He received scholarship offers from a number of serious schools to continue his football career as a quarterback but chose to become a Met and pursue a future in baseball.
Houck is 6’2” and a little taller than typical shortstops but not glaringly so. That being said, the general consensus is that he will shift to third base or second base later in his career. Scouting reports indicated that Houck was a solid all-around hitter with some solid power and that he was a fairly solid value pick at 32.
