Mets Draft Alex Petrovic in Sixth Round

The Mets added another arm to their system with the selection of Alex Petrovic, a right-handed pitcher hailing from Auburn University. Petrovic was taken by the club in the sixth round of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft, continuing their focus on college talent.

Petrovic's collegiate career at Auburn provides him with a solid foundation of experience against high-level competition. As a right-hander, he offers a different look to the Mets' pitching prospects.

The team will now look to develop Petrovic further, integrating him into their minor league system with the hope of him eventually contributing to the major league club. His selection represents another piece in the Mets' long-term rebuilding efforts.
