This is how Victor Victor Mesa figures into the Miami Marlins’ spring plans and beyond
He hasn’t played a game yet, but he’s already one of the more well-known names at the Miami Marlins’ spring training camp this year.
As he took his first round of batting practice on Monday as the team held its first full-squad workouts, the chants from the small crop of fans at Roger Dean Stadium began.
“Me-sa, Me-sa.”
Yes, Victor Victor Mesa — the 22-year-old outfielder from Cuba and the Marlins’ No. 2 prospect — is here, part of the 68-player contingent at major-league camp. The fanfare came with him, although the timeline for him to get the big leagues is still up in the air.
