8/20/19:Works out of multiple arm slots giving different looks and velos up top (87-90 mph) and out of a true side-armed slot (83-85 mph), while backing-up the fastball with a two-plane mid-70s breaker.
10/21/16 - Antonio Menendez (Herndon HS, VA), a long and lanky 6-foot-4, 190-pound Wake Forest recruit, is a two-way talent, but showed intriguing upside on the mound. The right-hander works from two angles, but was most effective when he was dealing somewhere between a low-3/4 and sidearm slot. He has an athletic arm, long and loose, with a tailing fastball that ranged between 84-86 mph. He also threw a sweeping slider at 74 mph.
9.29.16 - Wake Forest commit. Long projectable frame. Short swing path in a tall open set up. Hands create some bat speed at the plate. Should continue to get stronger and could project some power at plate… Under-shooter (submarine) with loose, quick hand. Showed an ability to raise the slot to high-3/4 vs. LHH, occasionally. Flashed fastball and curveball from the raised slot. From underneath, sat 82-85 and touched 86 with arm-side sink. Slider 71-73 with sweeping action. Threw one change at 73.
10/13/15 - Verbally committed to Wake Forest
3.17.16: Menendez has a lanky frame and throws from multiple slots, submarine and three-quarters. He has a smooth drop and drive delivery and a short arm action that generates velocity with normal effort. His shoulders are level and closed as he strides out to a slightly closed landing. From his natural three-quarters arm slot, Menendez’s fastball was 83-86, touching 87 with hard run. His slider had sharp 10/4 break and ran 70-74. From his submarine slot, his fastball was 79-83 with heavy sink and his slider had sweeping action, running 71-74. Menendez has an advanced feel for how to keep hitters off balance, changing his timing and slot to keep hitters confused. He also has a very quick move to first and understands how to hold runners.
2.15.15 Hit from a tall/balanced stance that was slightly open. Hands went back during the load causing an arm bar. Took a short stride with a leg kick. Good balance. Had a good approach during the round with quiet rhythm that was early. Bat path was level with extension and some length. Had a line drive/gap-to-gap stroke. Good hands!

2.15.15 Menendez has a lanky frame and is a sidewinder. He has a long, loose, quick arm action. He has a smooth, explosive rhythm to his delivery and his shoulders are level and he does a good job of staying online before falling off a bit after release. Menendez worked 78-81 mph with his fastball, touching 83 mph with good, late run. He threw a good, late breaking frisbee slider that ran 71-73 mph. He threw a good and a fading change-up that ran 71-74 mph. He had good command of all of his pitches and kept them down.
