2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mervis didn't have a clear path to playing time with the Cubs, so being traded to the Marlins in December should open up his big-league opportunities. Mervis only played at first or served as the DH last year in stints with Chicago and Triple-A Iowa. Mervis does still offer some power potential, as he blasted 22 home runs and sported a .932 OPS for Iowa in 2023 before taking a little step backward last year. He's struggled in his brief chances against big-league pitching and has a .481 OPS through 127 plate appearances. Jonah Bride and Deyvison De Los Santos are the current favorites to start at first base and designated hitter, respectively, but Mervis should be able to force Miami to give him a look with a strong showing during spring training.

Powers team with two homers
Mervis went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Mervis got the scoring started with a two-run shot off AJ Smith-Shawver in the first inning, his first homer of the season, before launching a 421-foot blast off lefty Jose Suarez in the seventh. It was quite a performance from the 26-year-old Mervis, who had gone just 2-for-15 (.133) in five games prior to Saturday. Mervis should continue to see regular playing time in the middle of Miami's order.

Stat Review
How does Matt Mervis compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Mervis was pretty unlucky in his first big-league cup of coffee, but first basemen and designated hitters don't usually get many chances in their mid-20s to prove they belong in a big-league lineup. He had a .218 BABIP, .167 average and .234 xBA while showcasing an impressive 111.8 mph maxEV, 13.8 Barrel% and 50.0 HardHit% in 58 events over 99 plate appearances. His 32.3 percent strikeout rate was by far the highest mark of his pro career, but his 30.7 O-Swing% and 75.0 Z-Swing% were strong swing-decision marks for a rookie. Mervis, who turns 26 in April, was excellent for the second year in a row at Triple-A, but his exploits at that level are irrelevant at this point. He is either a Quad-A hitter or a big leaguer, and we won't know for sure until he gets an extended look. Just because Mervis looks like he's atop the depth chart in December doesn't mean that won't change as the offseason progresses, so make sure you don't go into the season relying on him.

Worked to fix swing in offseason
Mervis believes he has corrected some bad habits that developed in his swing mechanics and his approach last season, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. "Last year, I think I just tried to prove that I deserved to be [in the majors] and got out of my approach, swung it some bad pitches. I would say [my struggles were] more things that I could control," Mervis said this week.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Set for MLB debut
The Cubs will promote Mervis to their big-league roster to make his debut during the series against the Marlins at Wrigley Field this weekend, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mervis signed with the Cubs as an undrafted free agent in 2020 but has been impressed over the past two seasons, hitting a combined .305 with a .998 OPS in 161 games across three minor-league levels. That includes a torrid .286/.402/.560 slash line and six home runs through his first 112 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. He's a bat-first prospect with plenty of power and is expected to see time at both first base and designated hitter with the Cubs.
