On today's episode, Javier reacts to the rookie of the year finalist announcement by discussing one of the nominees: Jackson Merrill! In continuing the player review series, Javi breaks down the many many many MANY fantastic aspects of Jackson Merrill's season, from his historically good output from someone so young, rare contact skills mixed with quality of contact, his second half power surge, how he captured the adulation of Padres fans aside from the numbers, transition to center field, why the Padres desperately needed him to succeed, and more! Go Padres.
