Scouting Report
New Jersey Games (July 23-25, 2016)
Mejias is a wiry athletic 6-foot 195-pound OF. Had one of the top arms from the outfield at the event, registered throws up to 86 mph, and exceptional arm action and carry. Throws were on a line and on target to home. Offensively, Mejias is a LH hitter. Starts with hands on shoulder and a relaxed crouch. Load is started by leg lift and hands are raised to just above the shoulder. Smooth swing with average hand speed. Can get long with barrel and tends to raise up in finish, stiffening out legs. Exit Velo: 80.
Defensively - whippy but short arm action. Throws had backspin and exceptional carry. Charges ground balls well in the OF and finishes through throws toward targets.
