Mienkowski is a strong and sturdy 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-hander with arm strength to his up tempo delivery out of 3/4 arm slot. Fastball worked between 84-86, topping out at 88 while showing some arm side run while having feel for the strike zone. Curveball worked at 71-74 and had tight spin and 10/4 shape while his changeup showed some signs of being a pitch down the road. The ability to repeat and fill up the zone is key for Mienkowski as he possesses the stuff and velocity to be a prospect at the next level. One to key in on as he could be a nice sleeper pickup for the right program.

Solid frame at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds, will still be able to add strength and get stronger. Two-way player who showed off his arm strength on the mound and in the outfield. Quiet actions at the plate, hands work back and drop before contact creating lift in swing, bat speed is there with an exit velocity of 84 mph. Defensively, arm plays both from left side of the infield and outfield. At times would let the ball get to deep on him in the infield, lower half quickness will help on his reaction and ability to attack ground balls. On the mound is where Mienkowski showed most potential. Fastball was 83-85 mph with quick arm, some effort involved, ball comes out hand nicely but was inconsistent with fastball command. Curveball has late action with bite at 74 mph while changeup was 70-72 with tailing action when outfront and on top. Some rawness to him as a pitcher, the arm strength and quickness to go along with potential for wipeout breaking ball suggest that with some refining to his delivery could make Mienkowski a breakout performer in 2017.
