Scouting summary
Mercedes projects as high-risk, high-upside outfield prospect whose ultimate production level remains heavily dependent on resolution of persistent contact issues currently limiting professional success. Baseline projection reflects below-average production reflecting present level struggles, while optimistic trajectory depends on mechanical adjustments generating contact rate improvement enabling power tool manifestation. International signing investment and tool profile justify continued organizational development commitment despite concerning 2025 performance. Most realistic ceiling reflects second-division everyday player should contact issues resolve, while floor reflects quad-A outcome if hitting problems prove systematic rather than situational.
