Hitting
Deline never has been a patient hitter. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Merced Deline to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. Deline isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
2025 Outlook
Deline isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Merced to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
