Player Notes: Jackson Merrill Was a top prospect, so we shouldn’t be surprised. But… Merrill had one of the most exciting rookie seasons in Padres history . . . He finished as the runner up to Paul Skenes for NL Rookie of the Year, after he played 156 games in center field . . . 24 Home Runs, 77 Runs, 90 RBI, 16 SB . . . .292/.326/.500 slash, 130 wRC+ . . . 79th percentile Batting Run Value, 93rd percentile Baserunning Run Value, 91st percentile Fielding Run Value . . . All good for 5.3 fWAR . . He was named to the All Star team and even won a Silver Slugger…In 2025, injury struck, but he proved that there was no sophomore slump. He reduced his strikeouts, he was better in the field, he had a 112 OPS+, and he was clutch under pressure. If 2.7 WAR in 3/4 of a season counts as a sophomore slump, sign me up. Now the good part … he is still only 22 years old… 22!! Truly One of the stars of the next generation!
