About this episode
Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo welcome Mets top prospect Jett Williams to the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac. Connor and Joe talk to the former first round pick and current Brooklyn Cyclone about his draft story, his relationship with fellow 2022 first-rounder and current teammate Kevin Parada, his style of play, and how his season is going along with his adjustment to playing in Brooklyn. Later in the show, the guys discuss the week that was for the big league team, next steps for Brett Baty, and rooting for a higher draft pick versus wanting to see the Mets play better and win games down the stretch of 2023. Connor and Joe then wrap the show with the Mailbag, and answer the question “which of the newly-acquired Mets prospects will reach the major leagues first?” Be sure to subscribe to the show at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
