While evaluators suggest he has a good feel for hitting, hes nearly universally expected to end up at second or third base long-term due in part to his large frame; hes listed at 62, 180 lbs. The Mets agreed to a $2,031,700 deal with second-rounder today, according to . The deal is full slot value for the 45th overall selection. Santucci is a college southpaw listed a 62, 205 lbs. Evaluators seem fairly split on the Duke product, with (#32) and (#37) both ranking the lefty within the top 40 prospects in this years draft while evaluators at (#50) as well as Law (#50) and (#64) are much le s bullish.
