TRACK RECORD: Mendick found a bit of power in Double-A Birmingham in 2018 and then doubled down on that outburst in 2019 by socking 17 home runs before making his big league debut on Sept. 3.
SCOUTING REPORT: Throughout his career, Mendick has utilized a short, quick swing to spray line drives all over the diamond and uses above-average speed to create a little bit of havoc on the basepaths. Mendick's bat was always going to be the key to his game, but he has enough defensive chops to play virtually anywhere on the diamond without creating a hole. He has enough hittability and power to do a bit of damage every now and then, but he's at his best when he doesn't let himself get too power-conscious and instead focuses on staying within himself. He can play shortstop but is best suited as a utility player.
THE FUTURE: Mendick is the classic utility player who provides value on both sides of the ball.
