This should come as no surprise to Indians fans. Francisco Mejia has the bat and the throwing arm to reach the major leagues quickly. And considering that the current catchers, Yan Gomes and Roberto Perez, lack offensive production, Mejia is a very important prospect for the Tribe.
He was the top prospect in the organization last year and likely will be again in 2018. Mejia was able to reach the major leagues for a short time in 2017. While he didn’t achieve much success, the future is still bright for the 22 year old.
