Mets prospect Mitch Foyte made a rare start in a grapefruit league game set at a night against the Ashrows

The 19-year-old second baseman drafted 38th overall last year

Bad at 9th and played seven innings in the Mets 8-2 loss at Cacti Park

New York's number 8 prospect got a single in his second ad bat marking a big moment

Less than a year after signing for 1.75 million dollars

Void has appeared twice before as a substitute in spring training

But starting is unusual for someone so new to probe all as a college draftee

He's closer and ace to some big leagueers like AJ Ewing who let off that game

Still Void has just 22 games under his belt all last summer with single a Saint Lucy

Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Void's played approach and enjoyed watching him interact with veterans up close

Void called it a huge honor and has picked up tips from players like Carson Benj the Mets first rounder from the year before

He described the team as great people to be around

Not everything went perfectly though

In the 7th inning Void faced a full count with bases loaded in no outs but struck out on seven pitches

The Mets scored just one run that frame

Void walked away with a souvenir from his first big league spring hit

Fueling his excitement as he builds toward the majors
