Defensive midfielder Sebas Mendez is coming off of his third year with Orlando City after signing with the club on Dec. 28, 2018 from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle. Although injuries and international duty with Ecuador limited his availability, Mendez was effective when on the field for Orlando. Let’s dive into how Mendez performed this season for the Lions.
Statistical Breakdown
Mendez started in 15 of his 17 appearances during the regular season, playing 1,193 minutes to help Orlando reach the playoffs again. He played every minute of the club’s six-game unbeaten streak to start the season as he filled in for the injured Uri Rosell and, due to his play, he eventually took the position away and made it his own.
