The Orioles were once again very busy at the start of the 2024 international signing period, bringing in a lot of talent from Latin America, led by Emilio Sanchez ($1.3 million) and Stiven Martinez ($950,000). Mejia got $175,000, the second-largest bonus the organization gave to a pitcher during the period and he went out and missed a lot of bats during his brief pro debut in the Dominican Summer League.
Just 17 for all of his debut season, Mejia is a 6-foot-3 right-hander who screams projection. He already has a big arm, with a fastball that he can already fire in the 94-98 mph range. He has good feel to spin a slider that could eventually develop into a strikeout pitch, and while his changeup is clearly his third offering, there’s some feel for it and it could be fringe-average.
Mejia is very much a block of clay who needs to be molded. There’s work to be done in terms of him finding the strike zone more consistently, but the raw ingredients are there to give him the chance to start, with it easy to dream on sharper stuff as he fills out his frame.
