Jackson Melendez   Center Fielder | Grand Rapids Red Dogs Hitting One of Melendez's strongest assets is his performance with men in scoring position. Jackson Melendezis Mr. Clutch. Melendez always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. Baserunning & Defense His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Melendez is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. 2025 Outlook The Grand Rapids Red Dogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Melendez like a hot potato if something better comes along.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
