Scouting Report
03/21/18- Miami recruit. Looks to have filled outs especially in the lower half. He has a big, strong arm and a lot of life on the fastball early. He worked 93-94 wouching 94 in the first with tilt and late life. He also flashed a hard, two-lane slider at 80-82 mph. After the first, the length in the arm action made it more difficult to repeat at release and worked 87-91 mph. When he is on time in separation and has a consistent release point, the arm is electric and shows a plus fastball and slider. Also showed a changeup a few times at 83-85 mph. Overall the arm works. He will need to get more consistent at release, but flashes present plus stuff with high ceiling.
03/10/17 - Mederos also showed why he is the No. 8 overall in the 2020 class. Offensively, he showed upside with present strength and long levers with power potential. On the mound, the young righty shows electric stuff with big upside. From a high-¾ slot he features a fastball that ranged from 90-92, touching 93 mph. He also showed a curveball at 69-72 mph and a cutter at 77 mph. He has long arms and a high waist and will be very interesting to watch progress.
10/20/16- Stands at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds. The Miami recruit shows a lot of athleticism and potential as a two-way player moving forward. On the mound, he has a quick arm with life on the fastball that has been up to 90 mph. Offensively, the right-handed hitter shows a short, quick swing with a strong lower half that generates present power with more to come.
