    Urena was a 27th round pick of the Mets in 2016, but chose to attend Monroe College (N.Y.) for a year to boost his draft stock. He is extremely young, especially for a junior college player--he won't turn 18 until the middle of August. He's a 6-foot-5 lefthander with a clean, fluid delivery. His fastball works at 88-93 and he has plenty of projection left in him. Urena could be a steal on day two of the draft.
