2025 Fantasy Outlook
Merrill's 2025 was not as much of a sophomore slump as it was a visit to the School of Hard Knocks. Merrill had a rough 2025 with an early hamstring strain which cost him a month, a concussion in mid June which returned him to the injured list for another 10 days, and a left ankle spain in mid-August that resulted in a third trip to the injured list. Merrill, despite the setbacks, still finished the season with a solid 116 wRC+ and a .264/.317/.457 triple-slash line, but it came in just 115 games. He was pacing to meet or exceed his run production statistics, but the ankle sprain and hamstring injuries essentially shut down his running game as he attempted just three steals all season after stealing 16 of 19 in 2024. Merrill's increase in strikeout rate could also be written off to the concusion and injury recoveries. His acquisition cost in most leagues should be lower this year coming off the issues of 2025, but Merrill's upside remains strong. He does not even turn 23 until a few weeks into the season. Stretch goal: A 25-25 season. Read Past Outlooks
