Read EvaluationGuilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Mellecker captained the Orlando City team that emerged undefeated out of Group C with two wins and a tie. A defensive midfielder, he has a central role in the team’s playing system with his ability to consistently get on the ball and dictate the pace of their offense. Mellecker moves very well off the ball and is always around it, offering a constant passing option to his teammates. He has excellent vision and knows exactly when to move the ball laterally and keep possession and when to try more direct, vertical passes into the final third.
