Yong Mercardo
Right Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players
Hitting The book on Mercardo is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. It's hard to explain but Yong Mercardo plays much better on the road then he does at home.
Baserunning & Defense Mercardo isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases. Minor league scouts have accused Mercardo of being a liability in the field. Yong's arm leaves a little to be a desired.
