    View Draft Report
    Highly recruited as a two-way player out of Sarasota (Fla.) HS, Mendoza was in N.C. State's weekend rotation opening weekend as a freshman but quickly lost that spot and reinvented himself as a hitter, batting .369 as a sophomore (and .315 in the Cape Cod League) while playing third base. He spent the whole 2017 season digging out from an early slump as he tinkered with his stance, losing his rhythm and timing. When he's on, his hands work at the plate, helping him generate average raw power and gap-to-gap line drives, and in the field, where he has the potential to be a plus defender. His arm remains an asset, and scouts like his makeup.
