Yeah, and if you're using the "He's 19" logic, then I guess the best report a scout could give us is:
"I have no idea. He's a teenager. He may go through 5 arm surgeries between now and his 30th birthday. He may add a pitch. He may lose a pitch. He may put on 30 lbs and add velocity. He may put on 50 lbs and eat his way out of the league. I literally have no idea what he is going to be."
But thats not what these guys are paid to do, nor what we are looking for them to do, right?

No, he signed this year during or near the end of the Dominican Instructional League.
According to Badler he was an under the radar guy. 6 months ago he was throwing 93 and getting $10K offers. He moved to DR and spent two months training. Improved his mechanics and got stronger. His fastball jumped to 97. Then just before his 18th birthday he hit 99.

Jacob Resnick @Jacob_Resnick · 5h #Mets signed Mexican RHP Jhoxan Gudiño as an international free agent. He’s already hitting 92 mph as a 16-year-old, according to reports.

Here's some signings that have recently been posted on the Mets transaction page at MLB.com. By my count the Mets have signed 55 players since the 2019 signing period started on July 2. Players signed before June 15 count toward the 2019 class.
Adrian Rubio CF 6'2 175 12/10/02 DR signed 11/15 Layonel Ovalles RHP 6'3 175 6/16/03 DR signed 11/20 Enrique Valdez SS 6'0 180 9/1/01 DR signed 11/26 Reynaldo Colon RHP 6'3 200 5/7/02 DR signed 11/26 Gabriel Estaba RHP 6'5 155 1/23/03 VZ signed 11/27 Angel Santana RHP 6'1 150 2/27/03 DR signed 11/28 Luis Camilo LHP 5'9 178 7/22/02 DR signed 12/4 Oberto Arrieta LHP 6'1 155 1/2/03 VZ signed 12/7 Jesus Suarez SS 5'11 140 5/10/03 VZ signed 12/7 Jhoxan Alfaro RHP 6'1 196 6/22/03 Mexico signed 12/11 Jose Lima LHP 6'2 180 10/1/99 VZ signed 1/23 Kelvin Contreras LHP 6'0 152 5/12/01 DR signed 2/4 Christopher Vasquez RHP 6'0 160 3/17/01 DR signed 2/4
Yoenis Cespedes’ little brother, Yoelkis Cespedes will be declared a free agent by March 18th, per Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com.
22 year old outfielder, said to have “loud tools” and an 80 grade arm. Potential five tool talent. Expect a showcase of some sort over the next few months.
He will be subject to IFA rules, so likely to sign after 7/2 when teams have their new pools.
