Meyer took one of the more-professional rounds of batting practice of the day, spraying liners from gap-to-gap with impressive barrel control & accuracy. The 5-foot-10, 165 pound right-handed hitter starts in a taller, athletic setup with a loose rhythm in the handset. The rhythm allows the hands to flow into an ideal launch position as he gains ground with a positive forward move. The swing path works short to the ball, with lag that puts the barrel on-plane early, and he is able to work the barrel through the baseball to extension. The path allows for hard contact to all fields, and we have seen him show much of the same in a game setting, and against velocity nonetheless. Meyer holds significant value as a defender, a true utility that can be plugged into almost any position on the diamond. His listed primary is 3B, where he shows sure hands and an 84 mph arm across, and he has the ability to slide over to 2B, as well. Meyer has the athleticism to range in the outfield, and a 6.90 60 keeps CF hopes in play at this time. Meyer may actually profile best behind the dish, where his athleticism stands out and his arm strength translates to above-average catch and throw abilities.
Meyer continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the class, and he took a professional round of batting practice at the All-State. I love the pace at which Meyer moves in the box, a controlled operation with an efficient lower half that allows for easy effort. Meyer was all over the barrel, showing some of the best hand-eye in the class, and his best ball left the bat at 92.7 mph. The 5-foot-9, 165 pounder is a swiss-army knife defender, holding the ability to play all 3 OF spots, middle infield, and can catch, as well. Meyer is a multi-sport athlete with body control, and an above average runner for the class (7.16).
