    A draft-eligible sophomore, Mederos pitched for his fifth different school in the past six years in 2022. Mederos pitched at Coral Reef (Fla.) High in 2017, Monsignor Pace High in Miami Gardens, Fla., in 2018 and 2019, Westminster Christian High in Palmetto Bay, Fla., in 2020, Miami as a college freshman in 2021 and Oklahoma State in 2022. Two years into his college career, Mederos remains a pitcher whose potential far exceeds his present results. He missed a little time this spring with an oblique injury, but when he did pitch, he was more of an innings eater than a dominant starter. He posted a 5.59 ERA with more hits (69) than innings pitched (66). Mederos has plenty of arm speed—his fringe-average fastball sits at 93-94 mph and has touched 98. But hitters get excellent swings against it because it’s straight. His above-average slider could develop into a plus pitch. It’s relatively hard (83-85 mph) and he’s shown the ability to tighten it for strikes or add tilt with two strikes. He has yet to show much feel for a changeup, which he will need to develop to better battle lefthanded hitters if he is to remain as a starter. Mederos has plenty of upside, but after two middling seasons, he may need to head back to school to better show what he can do.
