Szapucki was added to the Mets' player pool Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Szapucki has yet to reach Triple-A and has thrown just four Double-A innings, so he's unlikely to be one of the first names the Mets call on this season. He did cruise to a 2.63 ERA and a 27.3 percent strikeout rate across three levels of the minors last season, showcasing his talent, so there's a chance he skips a level and makes his big-league debut at some point this year.
