Player Outlook
The 6-foot-3 Jacob Melton has intriguing tools, with above-average power and plus speed, but it's still to be determined if he will make enough contact to be a regular. He is already 23 (turns 24 in September), and while his line as an old-for-the-level player at High-A was fine (.244/.338/.453), it wasn't the type of offensive production most older prospects manage while playing half their games in the hitter's paradise in Asheville. Melton hit 23 home runs with 46 steals in 99 games, so the power and speed is tantalizing, but his age/level is going to be working against him unless he absolutely destroys Double-A and Triple-A pitching this year. Defensively, he might fit best long term in left field, which would put more pressure on his bat.

    Melton is slashing .232/.337/.443 with 14 home runs and 30 steals in 62 games for High-A Asheville. Melton turns 23 in September and is playing half his games in the extremely hitter-friendly park in Asheville, so this statistical output is essentially him meeting expectations.
