With the 19th pick of the 2020 MLB Draft, the New York Mets selected Pete Crow-Armstrong, an outfielder out of Harvard-Westlake High School in California.

The son of Hollywood actors - his mom, Ashley Crow, played Billy Heywood's mother in "Little Big League" - Crow-Armstrong played for the same high school team that saw major leaguers Jack Flaherty, Lucas Giolito, and Max Fried pass through its ranks.
