Scouting Reports

BA Grade: 50/Extreme

Track Record:: Venezuela has been home to some of the top international catchers in recent classes, including Diego Cartaya of the Dodgers and Francisco Alvarez of the Mets. The Blue Jays landed one of the premier catchers in the 2021-22 international class when the signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2022 by signing Meza, a true catcher with an advanced offensive game for his age.

Scouting Report: Meza&#39s hitting ability and defense both stand out. He&#39s agile and flexible behind the plate, getting low to the ground to block and receive well for a 17-year-old catcher. With an arm that grades out at least solid-average, Meza has a chance to develop into an above-average defender. Offensively, Meza has an advanced approach, controlling the strike zone well with a high contact rate in games and the ability to use the whole field. His swing is loose, easy and handsy, producing line drives all over the field. It&#39s a hit-over-power profile now with gap power, though he has a lot of space to fill out his broad-shouldered frame and grow into more power once he packs on more strength.

The Future: Between Gabriel Moreno and Alejandro Kirk, the Blue Jays have shown a knack for signing and developing promising international catchers. Meza isn&#39t at their level yet, but he&#39s more advanced as an all-around catcher at the same age, with his pro debut likely to come in the Dominican Summer League in 2022.
