Uncommitted. Mendez made a strong impression with a smooth left handed swing holding down the hot corner for Ola. The frame stands out, and could have real power potential down the road. He has quick hands paired with a strong lower half. The actions in the field are clean with a strong arm that could keep him over at 3B long term. He could also slide over to 1B with his athleticism. Mendez will be one to keep an eye on this summer as a strong left handed bat in the 2026 class.
