Florida ProCase Preview: C Jayden Melendez
May 26, 2020
The PBR ProCase has been a staple of the Prep Baseball Report's pro coverage over the last 17 years. The event has become one of the more high-powered pro showcases in the state and has seen multiple high draft picks in year’s past. There have been four players drafted in the top five rounds of the MLB Draft to have attended the Florida ProCase in previous years. The biggest of them all was Mason Denaburg, who was taken in the 1st round of the 2018 draft by the Washington Nationals. Another ProCase alum was Freddy Tarnok. He was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft. Sam McMillan attended the first Florida ProCase in 2016. He was selected in the 5th round of the 2017 draft by the Detroit Tigers. And just last year, Tyler Callihan was selected in the 3rd round of the 2019 draft by the Cincinnati Reds.
The 2020 Florida ProCase will take place Friday, May 29th at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona, Florida. The event will feature a pro-style workout followed by simulated gameplay that we will be broadcasting live on Twitter. Continuing today, we will be spotlighting some of the players that will be in attendance at the 2020 Florida ProCase.

Scouting Report
06/03/18- FIU recruit. The catcher has advanced catch and throw skills, but he really stood out offensively on day two. He was 5-for-9 on the day over three games and showed an advanced approach with a compact, level, line drive swing that handled velocity well.
4/15/17- Athletic catcher, playing up on varsity. Younger brother of MJ, he has present defensive tools and will continue to improve and has a chance to be a plus defensive catcher. Offensively, the right handed hitter has a strong lower half and a short, level swing. There is some present physicality and will have a chance to hit for future power.
