Mayer sandwiched all-conference honors in both of his seasons at St. Charles (Mo.) CC around Appalachian League pitcher of the year accolades in the summer of 2021, but he missed all of 2023 following Tommy John surgery after he transferred to Missouri. Though he posted a 6.58 ERA in his return to the mound last spring, the Astros liked his pitch data enough to take him in the 16th round and give him every dollar they could ($175,812) without forfeiting a future first-rounder for exceeding their bonus pool by more than 5 percent. His name began getting mentioned in trade requests after he made three Single-A appearances in his pro debut.
After averaging 91 mph with his fastball during the spring, Mayer worked at 94-96 mph with explosive carry coming out of a low-release height during his brief introduction to pro ball. He creates good shapes on his secondary pitches as well, highlighted by an upper-70s curveball with downer break. He also has a sweeping 82-85 mph slider and a changeup with similar velocity and some fade and depth when it's on.
Excited about the potential to improve the quality and usage of Mayer's arsenal, Houston plans to develop Mayer as a starter. To make it in the rotation, he'll have to do a better job of landing his secondary pitches in the zone and missing bats when does than he did at Missouri. He has a strong 6-foot-3 frame that should lend itself to durability and works from a three-quarters arm slot.
