Description: Boston Red SoxTop 30 Prospect - #2MLB Top 100 Prospect - #7Marcelo Mayer2024 Game-Used Broken (Cracked) Bat Up for sale is a game-used broken Victus Bat from Marcelo Mayer, the #2 prospect in the Boston Red Sox organization and #7 prospect in Major League Baseball. Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 | Overall: 60 MLB Pipeline's top-rated 2021 Draft Prospect, Mayer dropped into the Red Sox's lap with the No. 4 overall pick -- their highest in 54 years -- because the Pirates saved money with Henry Davis and the Rangers and Tigers coveted Jack Leiter and Jackson Jobe. Signed for a franchise-record $6,664,000, Mayer performed well in the lower levels of the Minors and reached Double-A at age 20 last year, but he also struggled after sustaining a left shoulder impingement when he fell while running the bases in early May. He batted .337/.414/.582 before the injury but just .190/.256/.366 afterward until he was shut down in August. Though Mayer was hampered for much of last season, he still showed impact potential at the plate. He has gotten stronger since turning pro and is driving the ball in the air to his pull side more than ever, which could translate into 25 or more homers per season. He has swung and missed a bit more than expected, particularly on pitches in the zone, but he has a pretty left-handed stroke and generally makes good swing decisions, so he should be a solid hitter as well. Mayer is bigger and slower than most shortstops, so the top question surrounding him is whether he'll play the position on a long-term basis in the Majors. He compensates for below-average speed with a quick first step and keen instincts, and the consensus is that he can be an asset with a strong arm at shortstop. Some scouts believe he'll wind up at third base, where he might be a plus defender while still profiling well offensively. Please email me with any questions. THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING!
