"Mitch Voit about to bring '86 vibes to Citi," one fan account joked. Another posted about the calendar turning back to 1986, when the polarizing, out-of-control Mets won their second World Series.

The Mets’ first pick was docked 10 spots from No. 28 to 38 because they exceeded the luxury tax threshold by more than $40 million last year

In 56 games as a junior this past season, Voit had a slash line of .346/.471/.668 with 14 home runs, 60 RBIs and 14 stolen bases.
