#285 Nick Lorusso - 3B U of Maryland. The last Maryland draftee picked by the Mets who stands out in my mind was Jay Payton. Go Terps! and he's also from Monroe, CT, practically a homie. from SNY: Lorusso was one of the most productive hitters in college baseball this season. He hit .379 with a .446 OBP, 1.211 OPS, 26 home runs, and was tied for the NCAA-lead with 105 RBI. The Monroe, CT native has the potential to be a quick riser through the minors. Later
