In three years of collegiate ball (the first in junior college, the final two with the Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks), Mendick displayed consistently solid hitting skills without much power. In those three years, covering 458 at-bats, Mendick slashed .332/.419/.483 with a combined eight homers, 90 RBIs, 32 stolen bases, 55 walks (10.13%) and 38 strikeouts (7.0%).

Partly because he didn’t hit for much power and his competition level wasn’t quite so fierce, Mendick fell to the White Sox in the 22nd round of the 2015 draft.
