Signed for just $20,000 out of Venezuela, Mendoza has emerged as the best pitching prospect from the Rangers' 2021 international class. He handled his first extended trial as a full-season starter very well in 2024, posting a 2.32 ERA and 109/25 K/BB ratio in 101 innings between two Class A stops. The Marlins took note, acquiring him along with middle-infield prospects Echedry Vargas and Max Acosta in exchange for Jake Burger at the Winter Meetings in December.
Mendoza's fastball sits at 91-93 mph and tops out at 95, standing out more for its low release height than its velocity or life, but it survives because he has a solid slider and plus changeup. He uses his 82-85 mph cambio mainly against right-handers, and it features high spin rates and dives at the plate. His 78-81 mph slider has both horizontal and vertical action and allows him to keep lefties at bay.
Mendoza creates deception with his sub-6-foot release point and wide arm angle. He has some crossfire in his delivery, though that hasn't stopped him from filling the strike zone early in his pro career. His floor is much more notable that his ceiling but he has a chance to become a back-of-the-rotation starter.
