7/24/25
A tall, long-limbed, lean, 6-foot-1, 197-pound frame, Merrill showed well during his Friday morning start. The right-handed arm tossed six innings, allowing one run on one hit, while striking out six. Working downhill on a line from a repetitive, easy motion, followed by clean full-circle arm action from a lower ¾ slot. Merill was tossing in a three-pitch mix with the fastball sitting 79-81 mph with natural cut, the curveball was 68-69 mph with 11-5 shape, and the changeup was 70-71 mph, developing with arm-side fade. Merill was able to fill up the zone and work out of a bases-loaded third inning.
