Brandol Mezquita

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Atlanta Braves #29 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Mezquita signed with the Braves in 2017, a year after the class that had 13 players’ contracts voided and resulted in former general manager John Coppolella being banned for life. Mezquita has been one of the only bright spots on the international front for the organization over the last few years.
  
  Scouting Report: Mezquita impressed Atlanta hitting coaches with his power potential and gap-to-gap hitting ability. He currently has an aggressive approach that features some swing-and-miss (29% strikeouts) but he has posted impressive top-end exit velocity numbers which should continue to improve and translate into more game power. A plus runner, Mezquita has played all three outfield positions but has increasingly logged more time in left and right over the years. He has an above-average arm. Braves officials are impressed with his cultural adjustment and English skills, and believe he has the mental acumen to make the necessary adjustments as he climbs the minor league ladder.
  
  The Future: After spending a few years in rookie ball, Mezquita should begin the 2022 season in Low-A Augusta. He is one of the organization’s more intriguing, lower-level hitting prospects.
