"As for his MLB Pipeline scouting report, they have him standing 6'2", 209 lbs. They note that he has a strong work ethic off the field and barrels it up on the field. His swing is described as "whippy" and he could be an extra-base hitter. Like Baseball America's assessment, MLB Pipeline believes he'll be a corner outfield, as he has average speed and a fringe arm that could improve in the future."
"Once a sore spot in the organization, the Jays have a bunch of intriguing outfielders in the system. RJ Schreck and Yohendrick Piñango were both acquired before the 2024 trade deadline as the Jays sold, and both had strong years in the upper minors. Schreck, in particular, slashed .249/.395/.459 with 18 home runs in 427 plate appearances, and could be a legitimate option to make the big leagues at some point in 2026."
Toronto signed Venezuelan catcher Juan Caricote for $1.95 million and outfielder Michael Mesa for $900,000 during the first day of the 2026 International Free Agency period. Mesa is 17 and listed at 6'2", 209 lbs with a strong work ethic, raw power, a whippy swing, average speed, and a fringe arm projecting him to a corner outfield role. Mesa remains years from the majors but could rise quickly in prospect rankings. The organization now features several intriguing outfield prospects, including RJ Schreck, Yohendrick Piñango, Joantan Clase, Jake Cook, and Victor Arias.
