While the Mets' player development system is flush with infield talent, Medina sticks out as an outfield prospect who has started to put things together. Signed in 2013, the Dominican native slashed .271/.342/.429 with five home runs over 54 games for Brooklyn in 2018.
In addition to the solid all-around statistics, this is the first season that Medina's tools have really begun to shine. He is known for having a good bat that features a short stroke. He currently hits mostly for gap power, but he should continue to develop more power as he physically matures. Medina roams the outfield as an above-average runner with a plus arm.
He has continued to make more contact, which has helped him to hit for more power. "He has a lively body and carries himself like a ballplayer", said one scout.
As he grows into his tool set, Medina will be a player to watch in the future.
