Dakota
Mekkes

10/27/12 Mekkes continues to climb in the rankings and his status as a prospect.  He touched 90mph for the first time at the Unsigned Senior Showcase.  His secondary is still a tick behind but if he continues his recent trend, expect the secondary stuff to come along.

9/16/12 Dakota Mekkes is one of the most intriguing prospects to recently surface in the 2013 class. He will be sure to check in on the upcoming expanded rankings. At the Open ID Showcase he was 85-88mph with his fastball and consistently put up 87's and 88's. Up until this point Mekkes has been relatively unknown but has started seeing large jumps in his velocity which in return has meant increased attention. There is certainly upside with Mekkes as he stands at 6-foot-6 and weighs in at a solid 225-pounds. Becuase he is a late bloomer his arm is young and yet it works well.
