Impact Mejia has played primarily as an infielder since beginning his professional career in 2013, though he only has 17 games of big-league experience under his belt -- the last of which came with the Royals in 2020. He's never been regarded as much of an offensive threat, slashing just .192/.292/.314 at Triple-A Rochester last season, so the 30-year-old will now pivot to the mound in an attempt to give his career new life. Golden relays that Mejia's fastball tops out at 98 mph and averages a staggering 20 inches of vertical break, though his mechanics are still very raw at this stage.
