Meggers is a developmental depth catcher/first baseman known for contact ability from the left side, solid on-base skills in college, and defensive versatility. He is still early in his pro career and not currently a top prospect, but he has shown enough to earn a midseason promotion within the Mets system.

Maybe Meggers can be the next Patrick Mazeika?

Is that good?

Tom Brennan said...

No…but IMO he has a chance to briefly be a major leaguer. As a lefty hitting catcher. The hit tool must get better. Will he be as good as another former lefty hitting catcher, Johnny Monell? Time will tell. Johnny was a good hitting minors catcher who hit the major league wall.

let's see what he does in AA. Mid-200's batting average at A+ doesn't scream prospect to me.

I will be thrilled if Meggers become the lead dog AAAA catcher into the next decade
