The top international prospect from the Blue Jays' international haul in 2014, Meza signed for $1.6 million. He offers an intriguing combination of projection, present stuff and pitchability, with a lean, athletic body. His fastball velocity has crept up over the last year and has touched 93 mph while sitting 88-91 with armside run from a three-quarters arm slot. He has the foundation for a starter's delivery with a loose, quick arm and good use of his lower half. Meza also creates deception with a high glove extension. His secondary stuff projects to be at least average, though his breaking ball can get slurvy and he is still developing feel for his changeup. He has natural strike-throwing ability and feel for pitching. Meza likely will spend 2015 as a 17-year-old in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
