Jonathan Meyer RHP/C/3B/SS
B-T HT WT High School Hometown Commitment Birthdate
R-R 6-1 195 Simi Valley Simi Valley, Ca. Cal State Fullerton 11/1/1990
BA scouting report
Meyer is a versatile player whose draft stock has risen steadily as the
season has progressed. A solidly built 6-foot-1 switch-hitter, Meyer has
played shortstop and third base as well as catching. And as a pitcher,
his
fastball ranges from 87-91 mph, peaking at 92. Meyer's curveball is
serviceable and could develop into a plus pitch. But his future is likely
as a position player. He has the frame and arm to be an outstanding
catcher. Yet
his hands and fielding actions have improved immensely over
the past year, and he flashes the playmaking ability to be an average to
plus defensive third baseman as well. Meyer probably does not have the
speed or quickness to play short, but second base is also a possibility.
He is a recent
convert to switch-hitting, and while he shows promise he
has more power--and is more comfortable--from the right side.
PG scouting report
(3/1):
Southern California scouts are sure to be confused on occasion this
spring as there are two high-school seniors named Jonathan Meyer that
have hopes of being drafted. One is a righthander/shortstop at Simi Valley
High; the other a righthander at Cathedral Catholic High in San Diego.
The former is considered the superior talent, but the confusion doesn't
end there. Scouts believe that Meyer's greater value is on the mound and
say he would be ranked significantly higher if Meyer viewed himself more
as a pitcher. However, Meyer is a multi-position prospect who plays
shortstop for his high-school team, was primarily an infielder for USA
Baseball's junior-national team last summer and is projected as a potential
third baseman or catcher as a position player.
Moreover,
Meyer has clearly stated that he will not sign as a pitcher out
of high school and will honor his commitment to Cal State Fullerton if
drafted in that role. As a position player, Meyer is a
switch-hitter with
a much more advanced swing from his natural right side. He has gap power
from the right side with the promise of more to come. His best defensive
tool is
his arm strength, which plays above average at any position-even
on the mound. His weakest tool, which is what keeps scouts from considering
him primarily a position prospect at this time, is
his running speed,
which is well below-average.
On the mound, Meyer pounds the strike zone with a
90-93 mph fastball and
has a smooth, easy delivery and arm action that enables him to keep the
ball down in the zone. He throws an 80-mph power curveball with a sharp,
late break that is nasty at times, and a strikeout pitch.

UPDATE (5/15):
Scouts warmed up to Meyer this spring as they grew comfortable with the
fact that Meyer (a.) has no interest in pitching, and (b.) profiles very
well at either third base or catcher, and grades out as a potential
top-5 round pick at those positions.
Meyer is a polished defender with
plus arm strength from shortstop and soft, sure hands, but his
well-below average speed will necessitate a position switch from shortstop.
He continued to switch-hit this spring and made progress from the left
side, although he still has significantly more power righthanded. Meyer
also gets high marks for his baseball instincts and overall approach to
the game.
