Jackson Merrill Collects Two Hits
9 months agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Jackson Merrill put together a nice performance during Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Merrill was given the start at designated hitter and batted leadoff during this game. He went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in the 7-0 win. The Padres are likely going to move Merrill around quite a bit during Spring Training. Merrill played mostly shortstop at Double-A last season. However, the 20-year-old should get a chance to earn a corner outfield spot in San Diego. Although, there's a good chance Merrill heads to the minors to begin the 2024 season.
