Gabe
Mejias

New Jersey Games (July 23-25, 2016)
Mejias is a wiry athletic 6-foot 195-pound OF. Had one of the top arms from the outfield at the event, registered throws up to 86 mph, and exceptional arm action and carry. Throws were on a line and on target to home. Offensively, Mejias is a LH hitter. Starts with hands on shoulder and a relaxed crouch. Load is started by leg lift and hands are raised to just above the shoulder. Smooth swing with average hand speed. Can get long with barrel and tends to raise up in finish, stiffening out legs. Exit Velo: 80.
Defensively - whippy but short arm action. Throws had backspin and exceptional carry. Charges ground balls well in the OF and finishes through throws toward targets.


Winter Trials South (January 30, 2015)

Gabe is an athletic 6-foot-0 195 pound left handed hitting outfielder who ran a 4.26 home-to-1B. Offensively- Gabe sets up with a spread stance, hands off back shoulder with a flat to upright bat position from his set to load. Hands stay near shoulder during his up-down leg kick, creating some resistance. May benefit from some separation here. Aggressive with lower half, exploding through contact and is able to pull hands through, driving through the ball. Exit velocity was 77 MPH. Two handed finish out in front with top half of the ball line drive results. Defensively- Attacks the ball with an aggressive but controlled approach. Very fundamental with footwork, receiving ball on the ground outside lead foot, rolling into a clean crow hop that gains ground and helps him accelerate through his release. Accurate on the bag throws with carry at 84 MPH. Aggressive player on both sides of the ball.
