LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Unsigned Seniors Showcase
Melendez is a 6-0, 175 lb middle infielder from Miami with a good athletic body. He ran the 60 in 7.45 on the slow track and threw 75 mph across the infield in workouts. He had nice infield actions, some good foot quickness and fielded the ball cleanly, although his arm strength profiles him best to second base at the next level. At the plate Melendez has a simple no stride approach and a short, quick downward swing. He makes very consistent contact and hit the ball hard a couple of times. His bat is a good college tool right now. Melendez also stepped in and threw a couple of innings in relief, topping out at 77 mph on his fastball with good pitching mechanics and a smooth arm action. Melendez is a good student.
