2017 National Academic Showcase
Brett Mendez is a 2018 SS/3B with a 6-0 150 lb. frame from Livingston, NJ who attends Livingston. Medium frame with long limbs and a lean, athletic build. Frame projects to support additional size with strength. Ran a 6.90 sixty-yard dash. Primary shortstop with smooth paced, fundamentally sound footwork while ranging for and surrounding the baseball. Clean glove actions while funneling from a slightly deeper position. Worked through transfer well and released from a mid three-quarters arm slot. Throws produced accurate, on line carry across the infield topping at 76 miles per hour. Left handed hitter with a spread, even stance and toe tap trigger. Compact hand set at load and launched to contact on a direct, inside path. Flashed some hand quickness while barrel came through the zone on a line drive plane. Showed solid feel for the barrel while utilizing a mid-field approach. Very good student as well.
