    Mendez was invited to the Girls Baseball Breakthrough Series at the Texas Ranger Youth Academy and participated in the event in November. The event included 32 of the nation’s best girls baseball players aged 14-17, and the athletes participated in drills on and off the field.
    Mendez also received an invite from American Girls Baseball to participate in the All-American Women’s Baseball Classic in January.
