Mayer

Drafted in the 31st round out of Pacific by the Philadelphia Phillies. 

6/11/16 - Drafted in the 37th round by the Minnesota Twins out of the University of Pacific.

Enjoyed a standout performance at the Under Armour Midwest Future Games, when he displayed impressive arm strength on the mound and power at the plate. Was the only one to hit a home run with wood in games. ... The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Mayer is another top-level pitching prospect to come out of the school. Mayer uses his height and length well, staying tall on his backside and works downhill. His fastball topped at an event-best 86 mph, sitting at 84. He also showed impressive feel for his changeup and curveball, demonstrating command with all three pitches. Mayer�s arm action and looseness leads us to believe he will continue to throw harder in the future. As a position player, he showed legitimate power potential at the plate while demonstrating a plus arm from the outfield (85 mph). Right-hander showed mid-80s fastball and solid feel on the mound over the fall.
