Frank Mejias  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Mejias has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Mejias, and that's saying a lot. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Mejias's curveball tends to hang. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Mejias is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mejias has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Mejias as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Mejias to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. Mejias isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Frank to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Mejias.
