Merriman continues to show why he was one of the better players in the state for his grade. He has some serious whip in his swing and the ball explodes off the bat. He drove a couple balls out to his pull side and every swing has intent behind it. He shows an above average arm from the outfield with good carry on all of his throws. Merriman has been a high performer throughout his HS career and we expect big things for this future Texas State Bobcat.
