Still only 20 years old, switch-hitting catcher Francisco Mejia comes in at Number 9 on our 2016 Cleveland Indians Top Prospect countdown.
Who is Francisco Mejia?
Mejia joined the Indians as an amateur free agent in 2012 out of the Dominican Republic. He made his Tribe debut in 2013 at their Rookie Level Affiliate in Arizona at just 17 years of age. The now 20-year old catcher is a switch-hitter standing 5’10” and weighing about 175 pounds. He spent all of 2015 with the Tribe’s Class-A Lake County Captains and was one of only three teenagers that were their team’s everyday catchers in the Midwest League.
