Mets Roster Central: Do You Feel Randy?

It may be hard to distinguish Caribbean teenagers at signing.  One leads to another leads to another, and by the time they (maybe) get on the radar as prospects a few years later, much of what (if anything) might have distinguished them at signing has faded from memory, and you have to get a read on them all over again.

COMING

Signed as International Amateur Free Agent out of The Dominican Republic, Not Yet Assigned

Starting Pitchers

Randiel Vicente

R/R DoB: 2009-03-27 High Level: MLB (2026)

Given half a chance, you might remember strapping young Randiel Vicente as the kid whose jacket lapels popped out of his uniform top in his signing photo.  Or you might remember his disturbingly recent (but not recent enough) birthdate of March 27, 2009 being the date that shocked you into realizing kids born in 2009 were eligible to be signed. 

Michael Jackson died before this kid was born. 

Bitcoin was in circulation before this kid was born.

The Miracle on the Hudson happened before this kid was born.

What really makes him interesting though is had already been reported last month to be committed to The Phillies, so any value gained by signing this young man is lost to the Phillies, and that's double-stuff good.

Hard to find confirmation but a Spanish-language report seemed to suggest he trained with old friend Hansel Robles, who is still bringing it this summer in The Mexican League.
