2011 Draft Profile - RHP - Alex Meyer

Alex Meyer - Kentucky



2-11 from http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/  - Alex Meyer – RHP – Kentucky - Now listed at 6-foot-9 and 220 pounds, Meyer has the size and stuff that could draw comparisons to Jeff Niemann. Meyer has always thrown hard, and has the body size and looseness in his arm to maintain his velocity deep into ballgames. He was challenged as a freshman by being immediately inserted into the Wildcats’ weekend starting staff, and that experience should allow him to take a significant step forward this year.


4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253  - Not every college player in the 2011 draft class has performed to expectations this spring. Here are five that may need to pick up their pace to preserve their high standing: - RHP Alex Meyer (Kentucky): As PG scout/writer Pat Ebert wrote about earlier this week (http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2243) Meyer still has top-half-of-the-first-round stuff. He’s a late bloomer who is still growing into his 6-9, 220-pound body, but scouts will be looking increasingly for improved performance (4-2, 7.64, 65 base runners in 35 IP) before June 2011.


4-14-10 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/14/alex-meyer-out-for-3-4-weeks/#more-25386  - Kentucky standout sophomore right-handed pitcher Alex Meyer has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and will be out for an estimated three to four weeks, it was announced by UK head coach Gary Henderson Wednesday morning. A 6-foot-9, 220-pounder, Meyer leads the team with 52 strikeouts in 40.2 innings pitched, functioning as UK’s Sunday starter throughout the season. A native of Greensburg, Ind., Meyer (4-2, 7.30 ERA) has made eight starts and appeared in nine games for UK in 2010. Over his two-year career, Meyer has struck out 132 in 100.1 innings, allowing 99 hits.


6-11-10 from: - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wait-til-next-year-draft-11-preview-pitchers  - No one will beat Kentucky’s Alex “Bubba” Meyer (4.28 FIP) in the size department, weighing in at 6-foot-9 and at least 220 pounds. But Meyer was a mess this season (7.06 ERA, 6.35 BB/9), an Anthony Ranaudo-like season. However, given his size and a fastball that touches 97 (better raw stuff than Ranaudo), it won’t take much to get him in the first round next year …
