5-foot-11, 155-pound solid frame with some projection left to it. Open athletic stance at the plate, pronounced leg kick to stride, and lands closed. Shoulders coil closed, hands load back to a slight arm bar, and gets barrel on plane for a level path swing. Showed a consistent middle approach. Exit velocity was 81 mph. Defensively Merrill had efficient routes on groundballs, worked through the catch, and had solid glove presentation. Clean centered exchange, short arm circle, and threw from a three-quarter arm slot. Positional velocity was 74 mph. Ran a 7.45 60.

Athletic body type and projectable 5’11, 155 pound frame. Hits from a balanced, open stance with hands held at shoulder height. Quick rock back load with a toe tap used for timing. Creates good hand separation and showed quick hands and bat speed through the zone. Short to the ball with a level swing path. Generates some lower half involvement and finishes strong with two hands. Gap-to-gap line drive type hitter with some pop. Recorded an 81 mph exit velocity. Rangy and moves quick in the infield. Works through the ball gaining ground on throws to first. Showed quick, clean exchanges throwing with short arm action from a mid three-quarter slot at 72 mph across the diamond. Ran a 7.38 60-yard time.
