Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Juan Mejia, Colorado Rockies relief pitcher, has emerged as a valuable contributor in the team's closer committee. He has recorded three saves this season, including a recent save against the Rangers on May 18, 2026, where he allowed one hit and struck out one batter over one scoreless inning. Mejia previously earned his second save in an 11-inning victory over the Phillies, where he effectively retired Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper. With a 4.66 ERA across 16 games and 19.1 innings pitched, he has accumulated 25 strikeouts and has been scoreless in five of his last six appearances. While Victor Vodnik remains the primary closer, Mejia has positioned himself as a strong candidate for additional save opportunities moving forward.
