Mets take Oregon pitcher at No. 20

Peterson went 11-4 with 140 Ks

With the 20th pick in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft on Monday night, the New York Mets selected left-handed pitcher David Peterson.

Peterson went 11-4 with a 3.51 ERA in 15 starts while striking out 140 batters in 100 1/3 innings at Oregon.

He likely won’t make his way to the Las Vegas 51s for years, if at all, but here’s a look at Mets general manager Sandy Alderson’s first-round picks — many of whom currently are in Las Vegas — since he took over.

Brandon Nimmo, 2011

Nimmo, 24, was the 13th overall pick in 2011 and Alderson’s first first-round pick with the Mets.

He made his major league debut last June and played in 32 games with the Mets. This year, he looked like he might nab a bench spot before getting injured in March during the World Baseball Classic. He’s hitting .220 in 36 games with the 51s.

Michael Fulmer, 2011

Fulmer, 24, a right-hander, was a supplemental first-round pick in 2011, drafted 44th overall. He was traded to Detroit in 2015 as part of the deal for Yoenis Cespedes. He was the American League Rookie of the Year for the Tigers, going 11-7 with a 3.06 ERA in 26 starts. This year, he is 6-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 12 starts.

Gavin Cecchini, 2012

Cecchini was selected 12th overall in the 2012 draft as a shortstop. He was moved to second base this year as Amed Rosario cracked Triple-a. Rosario is the team’s shortstop of the future, which forced Cecchini’s move. Cecchini, 23, got his first taste of the big leagues last September, playing in four games with the Mets.

Kevin Plawecki, 2012

Plawecki was the team’s supplemental firstround pick in 2012, drafted 35th overall out of Purdue. The catcher, 26, has spent parts of the last three seasons with the Mets, hitting a combined .206. In 20 games at Triple-a this season, he is hitting .299.

Dominic Smith, 2013

Smith, a first baseman, was taken 11th overall out of high school in 2013. He is the presumptive first baseman of the future, expected to take over as early as next season after Lucas Duda’s contract expires. In his first season at Triple-a, he is hitting .315 with seven home runs and 40 RBIS.

Michael Conforto, 2014

Conforto is the only one of Alderson’s firstround picks that is currently in the big leagues with the Mets. Entering Monday’s games, he was hitting .293 with 14 home runs and 36 RBIS.

2015

The Mets surrendered their first-round pick in 2015 because they signed Michael Cuddyer. It would have been the 15th overall pick. Their first pick was outfielder Desmond Lindsay, 53rd overall in the second round. He is at Class-a Columbia.

Justin Dunn, 2016

The pitcher, who hails from New York, was drafted 19th overall in the last draft from Boston College. Dunn, 21, is 4-3 with a 4.81 ERA at ClassA Advanced St. Lucie.

Anthony Kay, 2016

Kay, 22, was taken in the supplemental first round, 31st overall last year. He is out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last October.
