Coming in at No. 28 on our 2017 Cleveland Indians’ top prospect countdown is speedy outfielder Gabriel Mejia, our first non-2016 draft pick to crack the list.
Who is Gabriel Mejia?
Mejia was originally signed as an amateur free agent back in October of 2013 out of the Dominican Republic. He’s a 21-year-old switch-hitting outfielder who’s spent the last three seasons in the Cleveland Indians’ organization, including the last two stateside. He moves up from our “just missed” list in 2016 to crack the top 30 this year.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Mejia remains one of the fastest prospects the Cleveland Indians have in their system.
