Meade performed well in the Cape Cod League last summer, but the Yankees decided not to sign him as a 28th-round sophomore. Mike Kickham passed him as Missouri State's top prospect for 2010, though Meade recorded a lower ERA (4.18) and opponent average (.260) with lesser stuff. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder relies on deception and his ability to locate a fastball that can range from 83-87 or 87-91 mph. His changeup is much more effective than his slurvy breaking ball.
