As the Mets closed the book on their 2022 draft with rounds 11-20 concluding Tuesday afternoon, they’ll now turn their attention to molding the plethora of raw talent at their disposal.

The Amazin’s left Day 3 with 22 new players selected in the draft. Of those, 13 were pitchers and nine were position players.

This year’s influx of prospects is a contrast from the Mets’ 2021 draft, in which they selected eight pitchers in the first 10 rounds. Tommy Tanous, the Mets vice president of amateur and international scouting, largely attributed this position-heavy development to how the draft board fell.

“One thing that stuck out a little bit was the amount of [available] position players that we have a lot of love for,” Tanous said. “We took nine position players out of 22 overall picks, which is a little higher than expected. But it’s tough when you have players you like on the board that are still there.”

Heading into the final day of the draft, Tanous and Co. looked to balance the haul by drafting seven pitchers — six of whom are right-handed — in the concluding nine rounds. LSU’s Paul Gervase headlined the pack as the 12th-round selection.

The 6-foot-10 sidearming righty acted as a pillar of the Tigers’ bullpen this past season, registering a 1.85 ERA over 29 appearances with 52 strikeouts. His fastball — which topped out at 95 mph — and unique delivery were what impressed Mets Director of Amateur Scouting Marc Tramauta most.

“We trended towards trying to take as many starters as we can, but when you’re looking for relievers, which he did at LSU, you’re looking for a little bit of unique guys, which I think he is,” Tramuta said.

One round earlier, the Mets took outfielder Rhylan Thomas, a do-it-all “high-contact guy” they expect to fit into the middle of the field. While the 22-year-old’s power and “impact off the bat” still leave much to be desired, he sports elite bat-to-ball skills, as seen by his .335 average and .812 OPS over three seasons at USC.

Later in round 15, the Mets added third baseman Jackson Jaha. The Clackamas High School product and son of former All-Star first baseman John Jaha stands at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds — a profile eerily similar to his dad’s, who crushed 141 home runs over his 10-year major league career.

In the closing moments of the draft, the Mets selected shortstop Jackson Lovich, Gatorade’s Kansas Player of the Year. The 6-4 slugger powered his high school to a state title with his impressive play at the plate and on the mound.

Others joining the Mets on Tuesday were Dylan Ross, Cameron Foster, Jimmy Loper, Connor Brandon, Chris Santiago and Eli Ankeney.
