The New York Mets used the 223rd selection in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Auburn pitcher Cam Tilly on Monday. Tilly took on greater role as his second season with the Tigers went on, and he became the second Auburn pitcher picked in the seventh round of the 2025 draft. The Toronto Blue Jays chose Dylan Watts at No. 202.

The Castle High School graduate was selected 223rd overall in the seventh round by the New York Mets in the Major League Baseball Draft on Monday, June 14. He is the first former Knight selected since 2021 and only the eighth in program history.

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
