Uncommitted Spotlight: Zane Meyers
December 22, 2020
Our second uncommitted senior spotlight of the day is Palmyra OF Zane Meyers, the 112th ranked prospect in Missouri’s 2021 class.
We last saw Meyers at the MOKAN Top Prospect Games in June, where the 5-foot-11, 185-pound outfielder showed well. Here is what one of our staff writers had to say about the left-handed hitting Meyers’ performance at that event:
“5-foot-11, 185-pound solid frame. At the plate, Meyers had a max exit velocity of 78 mph. Begins in an athletic stance with a small load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed is above average, exhibits uphill swing plane and high finish. Through the round he found some barrels. Pull side approach. Above average in the outfield, his best throws to the infield topped out at 85 mph; shows quick feet, soft hands and a clean exchange. Average in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 80 mph; had average footwork, sure hands and a lengthy exchange. Has an-over-the-top slot. Recorded a 60 time of 7.15 at the event.”
