TRACK RECORD: A low-profile signing as a 17-year-old, Mey's pro debut could not have been uglier. Hitters hit .370 against him in the Rookie-level Arizona League debut and he walked as many batters as he struck out. The Reds brought him to instructional league in 2020.
SCOUTING REPORT: Mey has the building blocks to be a future MLB starter, even if his debut seemed inauspicious. Mey's fastball sat 93-96 mph at instructional league and can touch 99. His delivery is very smooth and repeatable and he uses a loose arm to generate easy velocity. In addition to his plus fastball, Mey's 80-84 mph slider is potentially average, although he gets on the side of it too often now, which negates some of its depth. Mey doesn't have a third consistent pitch. Mey's control is currently well below-average, but his delivery and athleticism should allow him to significantly improve as he matures and gets stronger.
THE FUTURE: Mey has the athleticism, repeatable delivery and fluid arm action of a potential starter, even if he's still half-decade away from Cincinnati. The 2021 season will be big for him to show he's made strides toward reaching his significant potential.
