6-foot-3 and 200-pound right-handed pitcher. The Notre Dame commit has projectable frame that still has room to add strength. Delivery has good rhythm and requires minimal effort. Starts with a chest high lift before loading into the hips. Moves well down the mound in good direction. Arm action is long working out of a ¾ slot. Showed the ability to command a true three-pitch mix. The fastball has heavy sink at the plate sitting 87-90 MPH. At 79-81 MPH, the changeup has consistent run/sink to the arm side. Best secondary pitch is the slider, at 82-84 MPH the pitch has tight sweeping action through the zone.
6/6/17 One of the top right-handed arms in the 2018 class. A long-limbed, projectable 6-foot-3 frame. Works through an over the top slot with long, loose arm action. Ball jumps out of his hand as he sat 86-90 mph with his fastball. With his thin frame he may have more in there as he adds strength. Uses an 11/5 shaped curveball as his main secondary option. The pitch is sharp with some depth at 73-76 mph. Flashed a changeup a few times, maintaining fastball arm speed at 79-80 mph. The pitch showed arm side run and some sink when down in the zone. Keeps getting better every time we see him.
2/19/17 One of the top uncommitted arms in the 2018 class. Megias is mechanically efficient and has a low effort delivery. Look for more velocity to come sooner rather than later. Was 83-85 mph with his fastball on this day. A strike thrower that has very good feel for his secondary offerings. Breaking ball has depth and sharpness to it on an 11/5 plane at 71-73 mph. Also showed feel for a well above average changeup.
2/13/16 Physical, long limbed prospect at 6-foot-3, 195-pounds. Definite arm to follow in the 2018 class. Young for his grade with a ton of upside. With his physicality and repeatable, low effort delivery he profiles as a starter at the next level. With short, loose arm action from a high-3/4 he showed off an impressive three pitch mix. Fastball worked downhill at 80-83 mph with heavy run at times. Had sharp, late action on his 67-69 mph curveball with a 10/4 shape. Had good feel for his 74-75 mph change up with run and sink.

6-foot-3, 195-pound big body, projectable frame. On the mound he has a slow tempo delivery with easy lift and lands slightly closed. Throws from an easy, high-3/4 slot with his fastball sitting 79-82 mph with occasional arm side run. Spins a breaking ball with 11/5 tilt at 68-69 mph and showcased a changeup at 72 mph, but occasionally holds onto it too long.
