Melvin Mendez  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Mendez always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Mendez you're not putting him in for his glove. Melvin's arm leaves a little to be a desired. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.

2025 Outlook
Mendez has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
