TRACK RECORD: The Mets snagged Megill as an eighth-round senior sign in 2018 after he spent his junior and senior seasons in the University of Arizona bullpen. He has the weapons, physicality and endurance to start, so the Mets began the process of stretching him out in the rotation in 2019.

SCOUTING REPORT: Megill came to instructional league in 2020 firing bullets. He reached 98 mph with apparent ease and sat in the mid 90s. Megill has a giant 6-foot-7 frame and very high arm slot but throws strikes and flashes average with three secondary pitches. His mid-80s slider has abrupt action but not a lot of depth, while his curveball has short, sharp break in the same velocity band. Megill has added depth to both breaking pitches as he has developed. His changeup plays as average and helps limit damage from lefthanded hitters.

THE FUTURE: Megill has the wide repertoire of average to near-average secondary pitches to keep hitters off-balance. If he can learn to command them, he could be dangerous, most likely as a reliever.
