2021 South Side Sox Top Prospect No. 64: Dilmer Mejia

Left-Handed Starting Pitcher
5´11´´
160 pounds
Age: 23
SSS rank among all left-handed starting pitchers in the system: 8

The White Sox signed Mejia back in December as a minor league free agent and assigned to High-A Winston-Salem. He’s not an old guy by any stretched, having started his DSL career with the Braves at age 16. He’s also not a big guy, but his numbers have been solid throughout his six professional years — including a 2019 season with the Low-A Rome Braves (8-5, 2.66 ERA, 1.12 WHIP).

But, given it’s a sister site who’s far more familiar with the southpaw, let’s turn it over to Talking Chop, who included Mejia among their Top 5 lefty pitchers in a June 2020 overview:

2020 was an important year for Dilmer but looks like that’s going to be pushed to 2021 unfortunately.
