Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a solid rookie campaign for Merrill, who now boasts a .277 batting average through 34 games. His consistent contact-hitting ability is evident, with 31 hits and only 19 strikeouts this season, reflecting a relatively low strikeout rate of 0.155. While he doesn't walk much, his .299 wOBA indicates that when he does get on base, he's making it count. Fantasy managers should note Merrill's steady production at the plate and his potential for scoring runs in a potent Padres lineup. His multi-hit games are becoming a regular feature, making him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats.
