Extreme contact hitter in college without much power. Walk rate took a big jump in the pros but that could reflect on the level of competition. Meckler has overcome some obstacles to get to this point and is a keen student of swing mechanic. He says in an SI article by Marc Delucci that the Giants organizational hitting philosophy aligns with his. Whether he can ever generate enough power in the bat to succeed at the highest level remains to be seen. On video on the Youtube, his stance and swing remind me of YtY.
