Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

6-foot-1, 190-pound long athletic build. Solid during batting practice, Merrix clocked an exit velocity of 92 mph. (66.65 mph bat speed average). (20.05 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a controlled low load, then used a short stride. Bat speed was quick, displayed a short uphill swing plane and high finish. In his round he found multiple barrels with loud contact. Aggressive approach. Athletic from the outfield, his best throws to the bases were registered at 86 mph; has athletic rhythmic feet, a quick clean exchange, and soft sure hands. Laterally, movements were twitchy and fielded the ball out front. Had a high ¾ slot and a quick arm action with consistent accuracy to the bag. Showed off his speed at the event, running a swift 6.65 60-yard dash. Solid on the mound, showed good arm speed, he had a high ¾ arm angle with a longer arm action. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses some effort. He has in line shoulders with an tall balance point. Lands soft with a recoil finish. Sat with his fastball at 80-85 mph with a max of 86 mph; showed control around the zone and running action with sharp movement. (Max spin 2141; Avg 1955). Threw his 11/5 curveball (70-74) with late action and glove side control. (Max spin 2020; Avg 1716). Has a tight slider (73-75) that shows slurvey action and decent control. (Max spin 1979; Avg 1979).

Defense: Solid footwork in prep steps. Gets weight behind and momentum coming forward to aid strong throws.
Arm: RH. OF - 87 mph. Long, loose arm. Extends out front with backspin.
Hit: RHH. Tall setup. Slightly open with hands up and barrel flat. Stays level through the zone and finishes high. Short to contact which puts him on the barrel consistently.
Power: 95 mph exit velocity. The long limbs and quick bat could create a nice combination of leverage and torque that could really elevate his game.
Run: 6.85 runner in the 60. Long smooth strides that even out at top speed. Easy runner with a quick burst.
Delivery: Up tempo, rhythmic and consistent.
Arm Action: RH. Long, clean and loose. Low to normal effort delivery.
