Ian Mejia
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his age relative to level and draft pedigree, Mejia projects as a depth arm who can help an organization innings-wise, with a realistic ceiling of swingman or long reliever who can spot start. The 2025 Double-A success suggests he can be effective when his command is locked in and the slider is sharp, but 2026 struggles at higher competition level temper expectations and point toward a back-end outcome. Without a clearly above-average fastball or a reliable third pitch, there is limited room to project big strikeout jumps, so his path depends on sustaining strike-throwing, improving fastball quality, and keeping the ball in the yard. If he continues to refine command, he could break through as a fringe big-league long reliever; if not, he likely settles as solid upper-minors depth.
