Scouting Report

Baseball Factory

An imposing physical presence on the mound at 6-foot-7, Meyer still has room to add strength to his frame - making him one of the more projectable pitchers around. He already has among the best fastballs in the 2008 class, easily reaching into the mid 90's. Many expect to see near triple digits on the radar gun from him this spring. Can further develop secondary pitches and pitchability, but the sky is the limit for him.

personally i doubt these extremely tall people because they seem to be all upper body when they throw and always have back and or arm injuries hopefully this guy actually uses his body but from what i see he doesnt finish

Anyone who doubts this kid's talent is crazy. He hasn't fully developed yet but he is throwing 94-97 with a curveball (83-86 mph) that is almost impossible to pickup because he hides the ball well. Play against him once haven't seen anything like and watch him play several times. Play the Blues out of Chicago in a championship game struck the first 8 batters on 32 pitches!!!!

If he signs with the sox (hopefully he does) I see him doing pretty good there, they have some of the best minor league coachs. They can make him into somebody.
