Victor Mesia

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Toronto Blue Jays #18 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: Mesia signed for $300,000 as part of the deep Blue Jays international class in 2019. He made a strong impression after signing during Tricky League (an unofficial league for July 2 signings) and Dominican instructional league. The coronavirus pandemic prevented him from making his official pro debut in 2020, but he was a standout at instructional league in the fall.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Mesia has a knack for making contact and driving the ball with impact. He has surprising explosiveness to his actions for his stocky build, producing fast bat speed and a compact, efficient stroke. He needs to become a more selective hitter, but he still makes a lot of contact, squares up high-end velocity and uses the whole field. Mesia's raw power is at least average with a chance for more to come. He has a strong, heavy lower half and moves athletically behind the plate, where he projects to stick with a slightly above-average arm that could tick up as he gets stronger.
  
  THE FUTURE: Mesia is far away, but he has the building blocks to develop into an everyday catcher. He's advanced enough to start 2021 in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
• 
  Ranked Toronto Blue Jays #20 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: The Blue Jays spread their international bonus pool money around in the 2019-20 signing period, coming away with a deep collection of talent. Part of that depth includes Mesia, who signed out of Venezuela at 16 and has emerged as one of the club's best 2019 signings.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Mesia has power and explosiveness to his actions. He performed well in Tricky League and Dominican instructional league games since signing, with a compact swing from the right side of the plate. He has fast bat speed, a knack for the barrel and makes hard contact with an all-fields approach. He shows flashes of above-average raw power right now, giving him a chance to hit and hit for power at a high clip for a catcher. Mesia has strong legs, is athletic for a catcher and projects to stay behind the plate, with a strong arm that tickles plus now and projects to be there consistently soon.
  
  THE FUTURE: Mesia will likely debut in the Dominican Summer League.
