Marcelo Mayer - Prospect Profile
Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - June 18: "He glides around the infield with silky smooth actions and has the hands, footwork and arm strength to stick at shortstop long term. He slows the game down and has no problem throwing from multiple angles with an accurate arm."MLB - June: "He has average or above tools across the board, starting with a plus feel to hit from the left side of the plate. He has an advanced approach and knowledge of the strike zone to go with elite bat-to-ball skills and a pure stroke."
Prospects Live - May 31: "Mayer is a hit-over-power bat right now, but he’s become more physical over the past nine months, leading some to believe he’s a future 60+ hitter with at least above average power. It’s a fantastic frame to dream on as he continues to add strength."
Prospects Live - Mar. 18: "Scouts love what Mayer brings to the field. It’s a plus hit tool with plus defense on the dirt and burgeoning power. What was thought to have been 45 or 50 game power is now getting some 55-grades thanks to increased pull-side physicality and added strength."
Michael Dault - Through The Fence Baseball - Mar. 13th: "Another prospect who doesn’t have any one skill better than the other, Marcelo Mayer does just about everything right. Much like many shortstops we’ve seen lately in the first round over the past five years, Mayer is a tall and lean player who isn’t a burner but has raw power."
Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - Feb. 26th: "Mayer is silky smooth and above average in all aspects but wasn't seen a ton this summer due to his location."
R.J. Anderson - CBS Sports - Feb. 15th: "His offensive profile is a little more speculative. He has a projectable frame (6-foot-3, 188 pounds), but his left-handed swing is going to require work if he's to develop pop."
Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - Jan. 26th: "Mayer has an argument as the best pure hitter in the 2021 prep class, but he could add to his offensive profile by starting to fill out a projectable 6-foot-3 frame and tapping into more in-game power."
Ian Smith - Prospects 365 - Nov. 8: "One of the more visually appealing left handed swings you’re going to find anywhere in this class. Very short to the ball with elite barrel control. 60 grade hit tool with possible plus raw power to come as he starts to fill out his frame."
