Nick Merritt  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Merritt, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. But Merritt, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Merritt is nothing special in the field. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Merritt is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Merritt has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Merritt to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Merritt.
