18. Noble Meyer

Right-Handed Pitcher, Jesuit 

Jesuit HS in Portland, Oregon has become a total pitching factory. From Mick Abel to Nelson Keljo, Jesuit has a knack for developing arms. Meyer burst onto the scene during the 2022 showcase circuit with a fastball up to 98 featuring arm-side run and some ride. It's a deceptive slot that's tough to pick up too. His slider works into the mid-80s with sweeping action and short vertical tilt. Meyer offers a mid-80s changeup that lags behind his other two weapons, but shows enough promise for scouts to slap a future 50 grade on the off-speed offering. Meyer is also an impressive athlete coming from a 6-foot-5, long, lanky frame. He checks a lot of boxes.

RHP Noble Meyer (Jesuit HS, OR), an Oregon recruit, has emerged as the top right-handed arm in the class. Featured prominently in Arms Race: Pacific Northwest from last spring, the wiry, long-limbed 6-foot-5, 200-pounder has steadily matured on the mound as the pure stuff has made an electric leap. Now equipped with a fastball that reaches into the upper 90s along with feel for a potential wipeout slider with 3000+ rpm and a faded changeup, Meyer’s confidence has grown to new heights, and there is a strong chance that he is ultimately the first pitcher taken off the board next summer.

8. Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit HS (Ore.)

Hailing from the same high school as former first-rounder and current Phillies pitching prospect Mick Abel, Meyer is another lanky 6-foot-5 right-hander with tons of projection and really good stuff. He’s already added velocity to his fastball, touching as high as 98 mph, and he combines that with a mid-80s slider that misses a ton of bats.

12. Los Angeles Angels

Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit 

The Angels are a bit of a wildcard in the 2023 MLB Draft. The team is currently for sale and nobody really knows the marching orders General Manager Perry Minasian will be given in year one with new brass. It’s clear he’s been trying to force a winner as quickly as possible since he’s arrived, but that approach may change with Shohei Ohtani potentially on the move following the 2023 season. If that happens a retooling of sorts may be in order. Meyer is potentially the most talented high school arm in the 2023 class with a fastball up to 100, a mid-80s slider and he can flash an above average changeup. It’s a premium body with a buttery, athletic operation. Some scouts question the fastball quality and its ability to miss bats, but a lower release and an inconsistent command plan suggest there’s some low-hanging fruit to improve it’s performance

11. Rockies: Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit HS (Portland, OR) 

Meyer can throw 98 mph and has a weird arm angle when he throws, making it tough for hitters to time him. He's also developing off-speed stuff and has a lanky frame that could be lethal at the big league level.

Meyer would make me a buyer at draft time

There will be a lot of movement before Draft Day and this guy could still be on the board when the Mets pick.
