The conversation about Meredith starts with his speed--he's a true 80 runner on the 20-to-80 scale, capable of reaching first base in 3.9 seconds from the left side and running the 60-yard dash in less than 6.5 seconds. That speed fits in center field, where Meredith shows advanced instincts and routes; he has a chance to be a plus defensive outfielder. Meredith is a lefthanded hitter with a contact-oriented approach that pairs well with his dynamic speed. Meredith showed limited power with a wood bat on the summer showcase circuit, but his pure hitting improved as he saw more advanced arms and he showed a knack for making contact and driving the ball to the gaps. He has natural timing and athleticism in the batter's box and he added more thump as he got stronger and added more separation to his swing in the spring. Meredith is a natural leader and an extremely hard worker. He is young for the class and won't turn 18 until September. He is committed to Clemson.
