5-foot-10, 162-pound, loose-bodied left-hander seems to be yet another arm in attendance where the future is extremely bright. Mehrten has a loose, whippy arm and got a bunch of late arm-side-action to his 84-86 mph fastball; averaging 18.5” HM. His slider working on a horizontal plane going the opposite direction of his fastball at 69-73 mph; average 19.1 average HM which matches his slot (4.7’ release height) well. The changeup, like the fastball, gets all kinds of arm-side movement at 72-74 mph. Given his pitch profiles, loose arm and projectable frame Mehrtens features all kinds of intrigue and will be a name to see this spring/summer.
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 5-11, 161-pounds. Lean, high-waisted frame.
Delivery: Clean, repeatable mover, smaller leg lift, drop/drive down the mound.
Arm Action: LH. Shorter arm path out of a 3/4 slot.
FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Plays firm out of the hand, some arm-side. T2081, 2040 average rpm.
SL: 69-73 mph. 10/4 sweeping shape. T2126, 2035 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Plays with fade, depth, showed feel for the lower half. T2060, 1875 average rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 5-10, 150 pounds. Lean, projectable build, wiry and athletic.
Hit: LHH. Upright setup and narrow base, hangs foot into a longer and controlled stride. Flat path, works on top of the baseball, intentful swings, pull-side approach to the gap. 74 mph bat speed with 18g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 mph max exit velocity (75.4 avg.); 348-foot max batted distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 83 mph. Loose arm, 3/4 release, clean path.
Defense: Attacks the baseball with steady footwork, two-hand gather, plays low and through the ball.
Athletic Testing: 6.86 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Delivery: Up-tempo, coils into a high leg-lift, drop/drive down the mound with intent, works slightly across body.
Arm Action: LH. Long reach behind him, clean through release with a 3/4 slot.
FB: T81, 79-81 mph. Feel around the zone, natural run at times. T2014, 1937 average rpm.
SL: 65-67 mph. Sweeping lateral shape, feel around the zone. T2111, 2038 average rpm.
CH: 74-76 mph. Showed hard run arm-side at times. T1894, 1800 average rpm.
LHP/OF Tyler Mehrtens (Highland, 2028) impressed our staff both on the mound and as a position player at this event. He’s a projectable athlete with long, wiry levers at 5-foot-10, 146-pounds. It’s a quick operation on the mound, working his fastball up to 81 mph with some arm-side action. His slider looked like his best off-speed offering, sitting in the mid-to-upper-60s with 1/7 shape and averaging 18.3 inches of horizontal movement. To round out his three-pitch mix, Mehrtens mixed in a change-up in the mid-70s with clear fade. Mehrtens started off the event posting a 6.86 60-yd time. At the plate, the left-handed hitter operates from a tall stance with a small stride. Compact swing with a gap-to-gap approach. Mehrtens posted a max batted ball distance of 348 feet, while having a max exit velocity of 92.6 mph. Mehrtens is a name to know in the ‘28 class.
