Mendez is a Dayton commit and has a lankier athletic frame with a ton of projection left. Hits from the right side from an open athletic stance. Showed an all-field approach with power to all fields. Homered twice in the game, the video is his home run to center, hit another one to left later that was absolutely smashed. Fast bat with a ton of strength through contact, twitchy athlete and it shows on the field, power is present already with more to come. Showed some barrel feel and raw strength as well, making a mid-swing adjustment for his third hit, keeping his hands back and muscling a line drive into centerfield when he was a bit off balance against a breaking ball. Standout player in this game and has made big jump since 2021.
