A converted longstick who came to Lawrenceville after spending two years at Bothell (Wash.), Mejia’s shortstick play has been something of a revelation. An excellent athlete, he plays at full speed at all times and relies on high-level footwork, backpedaling and moving laterally at an exceptional level. Meijia was sticky on-ball, winning all his reps in coverage, forcing three turnovers, cleanly scooping the groundball, and then darting upfield in transition. While serving as the trailer on a fast break in the fourth quarter, he even stepped in and scored from 15 yards before the goal was mysteriously waved off. Part of a highly impressive SSDM unit for the Big Red, Meijia has the makeup of a prospect who could become one of the more coveted ’28s at the position come September.
