Uncommitted Spotlight: 2021 C/1B Gavin Mez
September 26, 2019
Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director
Gavin Mez had an excellent summer season to compliment his 2019 sophomore campaign at Bishop Gorman. The #1 ranked catcher in the Nevada 2021 class, #13 overall, impressed PBR scouts at the All State Games at the end of August with his advanced approach at the plate and sub 2.00 pop time. It wouldn't be a surprise if Mez, one of the top left-handed bats in the state regardless of class, gets scooped up here in the near future.
Scouting Report
2/10/19 - Sturdy, 6-foot, 190, Gavin Mez has a developed lower half with core strength and durability for the position. With limited physical projection, Mez will likely realize weight and strength improvements in his upper body and frame may hold another 10-15 pounds efficiently. He received well with a solid exchange and relied on arm strength to post pop times ranging 1.93-2.03. In the box, Mez maintains a balanced setup with rhythm to his swing in a mostly pull side approach. He made consistent quality contact and it is easy to see some power down the road for this backstop. As a sophomore with a chance to stay in his present self, Mez looks to be a pretty polished product in the near future.
