Brad Holt was drafted 33rd overall by the New York Mets last season. Today, just days away from this years amateur draft, Holt has been promoted to Double-A Binghamton.
Holt is 9-4 in 22 career professional starts. In 2009, he’s 4-1 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.049 WHIP with Advanced-A St. Lucie.
According to Adam Rubin, Mets officials say Holt is on a similar path that Mike Pelfrey took to the major leagues. Hopefully he doesn’t take as many lumps once he makes it to the MLB level.
Holt makes his first start for Binghamton on Friday.
