The 15u/16u PG MountainWest Elite Championship got underway immediately following the conclusion of the PG West World Series. This event which usually takes place in the Henderson and Vegas areas, features some of the top younger prospects in the western United States

The tournament kicked off with the 15u division in the afternoon as TB SoCal dropped a tight ballgame to LVR in the seventh. Cole Stokes (2023, Redondo Beach, Calif.) was electric though right out of the gate, sitting 88-90 mph with his fastball. Mejia has a longer arm action with some whip to it as he comes up to a three-quarters to high three-quarters slot.

It will only continue to improve as his arm continues to strengthen and as his poise on the mound continues to mature.
