After committing to play baseball at Clemson University following graduation from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., he chose instead to sign a professional contract with the Pirates. He was the No. 9 overall selection in the 2013 Draft.
Playing in 24 games as a senior at Grayson, Meadows hit a robust .535 with four home runs and 28 RBIs in 90 plate appearances.
Hitting
I have watched Meadows play in the current Arizona Fall League. He has shown some pure tools so far, and he projects to get even better.
I have seen a very smooth, compact swing and very clean, uncomplicated and simple hitting mechanics.
