5-foot-10, 150 pound right handed pitcher has a smaller, lanky stature but makes up for it with intent provided in every action performed. Meikle has an over the top arm slot with smooth action coming out of his delivery. fastball sat 78-80 topping out at 81 mph with arm side run. His curveball had great break at 63-66 mph with good control overall. CH showed slight downward glove side run with good locating ability at 70-73 mph. Meikle also does a nice job getting his longer legs extended downhill resulting in a great finish. In the infield he plays under control, showing smooth actions. Can get flat footed at times inside funnel. Actions appear more athletic on the move. Glove skills are above average and he keeps them on the move. At the plate he keeps his hands simple during his leg kick load and stride. Hands tend to drift forward with lower half. A front foot hitter that takes a slightly downhill path to the baseball. A contact type hitter with developing natural tools. Produced most natural ball flight to his opposite field gap.

60-yard dash: 7.53
Infield Velocity: 71
Exit Velocity: 78

5-foot-8, 135-pound tall, projectable frame. On the mound Nathan uses a slower tempo to a delivery that requires some effort. Working through an over the top slot he showed quick armspeed with his fastball sitting 68-71 mph. He was able to maintain fastball armspeed to his 62-63 changeup with some fade to it. In the infield Nathan had obvious confidence in his glove and was able to make plays on the move. Would like to see him field the ball out in front of his body more consistently. From a high-¾ slot he showed off 61 mph arm strength to first base. Ran an 8.06 60-yard dash. Tall stance using a leg lift and 2 hand finish. Nice and easy cut.
