Jonathan Mejia

18-Year-Old ShortstopSS
St. Louis Cardinals A
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A $2 million signee from last year's J-15 international signing class, Mejia is a bat-first infielder who plays shortstop now but will likely end up at second or third base. The 17-year-old switch-hitter logged a .267/.418/.479 slash line with five home runs, a .212 ISO, 23.1 K% and 15.9 BB% as one of the youngest hitters in the Dominican Summer League. His 33% groundball rate and 107 mph max exit velocity, per Baseball America, are excellent marks for a young slugger. Mejia checks a lot of boxes we look for in breakout prospects from Latin America, but he is not a quick-twitch athlete and is unlikely to provide notable speed, so the bat will need to continue to stand out.

ANALYSIS
The 18-year-old switch hitter was given the rare assignment to Single-A on May 23 without ever playing in the Florida Complex League. Mejia had an .897 OPS in the Dominican Summer League last year and is the best teenage hitting prospect in the Cardinals' farm system.
