Prospects in sports often receive unfair comparisons. Here is one example: Mike Vasil is a bit like Tom Brady.
SEATTLE — Prospects in sports often receive unfair comparisons, which can lead to disappointment when expectations are not met.Vasil, a top Mets prospect and a native of Boston, showed up at the All-Star Futures Game on Saturday with cleats that featured a design modeled after the home run apple at Citi Field.
Vasil might have been a first-round pick coming out of high school before an arm injury knocked down his stock.“You see things about like, ‘Oh, could have been this.’ ‘Could have been that out of high school,’ ” Vasil, who was the Mets’ lone representative at the Futures Game, said before he faced two batters — walking one and striking out one — in the National League’s 5-0 win. “But for me, I would just say I’m an eighth-round pick, just here, Futures Game, moving my way through the system.
Vasil has a four-seamer that can enter the mid-90s — it topped out at 95.9 mph Saturday — a slower slider, a sharp curveball and a changeup.“I am who I am,” Vasil said. “I identify as the eighth-round pick in the ’21 draft class. I’m just working hard to not necessarily prove it to others, but prove it to myself that I know how good I can be and ultimately try to get to Citi Field and pitch in the big leagues.
“I’m very competitive,” said Beeter, who has a 2.64 ERA in 14 minor league starts this year. “I feel like when I go out there, I’m all-in on winning the game and just trying to dominate.
