New York Yankees
The Yankees signed Mesa as an international free agent in 2003. He played in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League (GCL) for the GCL Yankees in 2007, for the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League in 2008, and the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League (SAL) in 2009. He was named to the SAL All-Star Game, and participated in the league's Home Run Derby that year.
In 2010, Mesa played for the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and was named the league's Player of the Year. The Yankees added Mesa to their 40-man roster on November 2, 2010, to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
The Yankees first promoted Mesa to the major leagues on September 10, 2012. Mesa made his major league debut on September 22, 2012, against the Oakland Athletics in the bottom of the 14th inning as a pinch runner with the score tied 9–9. Derek Jeter bunted him to second base, and one batter later, Alex Rodriguez hit a single up the middle which should have brought Mesa home, but Mesa stumbled as he rounded third base and missed the bag. This forced him to backtrack, preventing him from scoring the winning run in his first major league game. He recorded his first major league hit, an RBI single, on October 1 against Boston Red Sox pitcher Andrew Bailey.
Mesa was named the International League Player of the Week for the week ending August 11, 2013.
Mesa was released by the Yankees on September 1, 2013.
