The 2001 MLB Draft may have been one of the weakest classes of the century. Among the 44 players drafted in the first round, only four made an All-Star team. Fortunately for the New York Mets, it was their supplemental pick and 38th overall selection that was one of them.

The Mets picked twice in the first round of this draft.
