Meneses was signed at 19 out of Mexico, signing in July and immediately getting into pro ball. While he was seen as a pitcher by many, the Braves focused him as a hitter, and he’s shown solid swinging his entire career. His first assignment was the Dominican Summer League, and in just 19 games, he hit .206/.286/.206 with a 7/14 BB/K ratio.
The Braves saw enough in that short stint to bring Meneses stateside in 2012. He flashed some surprising athleticism for a corner bat with the GCL Braves as he hit .303/.352/.407 with 5 triples and a 9/29 BB/K ratio.
