Byung-Hyun Mereck  
Second Baseman | Moose Jaw Dragons

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. Mereck always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Moose Jaw Dragons do tend to sit Mereck when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. Byung-Hyun's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Mereck doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

2025 Outlook
If Mereck doesn't perform, the Moose Jaw Dragons won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
