Scouting report

Mayer wasn't at as many national events during the 2020 summer since, like most West Coast prospects, he was farthest away from the Southeast states with loose COVID restrictions where they were held. Working in Mayer's favor is that many decision-making team personnel have already seen him since he shared an infield with former Twins first round pick Keoni Cavaco, and at the time Cavaco was drafted, area scouts thought that Mayer was already the better prospect. Mayer is a graceful infield defender with a very projectable frame. His swing currently prioritizes contact. He has terrific vertical plate coverage and generates all-fields spray, but he's also shown an ability to turn on and punish pitches inside with power. His frame is nearly identical to Izaac Pachecho's, but Mayer has a better chance to stay at short and has more room to fill out, so he's slightly ahead of Pacheco here.
