Víctor Víctor Mesa changes swing entering 2020 season

The most talked-about Marlins prospect on this date in 2019, outfielder Víctor Víctor Mesa saw his prospect stock crater following his first season in Minor League Baseball. By weighted runs created-plus (where 100 represents league average), he was the worst qualified batter in Miami’s farm system at 59 wRC+. Including his stint in the Arizona Fall League, Mesa competed in 133 official games last year with zero home runs to show for it. His speed, arm strength and overall instincts are major league-ready, but the inability to make quality contact overshadows all of that.
