Frank Merrilees  
Right Fielder | Owen Sound Crusaders

Hitting
He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Frank Merrilees to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Merrilees isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. When you play Merrilees you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
The Owen Sound Crusaders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Merrilees like a hot potato if something better comes along.
