Jackson Merrill has gained the August Nationwide League Rookie of the Month, his second one this season. The 21-year-old hit .303 with a .969 OPS and 23 RBI in 27 video games.
I’ve run out of the way to explain this man so I’ll maintain it easy. He’s the right younger participant to assist the Padres keep in competition yr in and yr out. Speak about setting a superb instance? Merrill’s doing it with this play on the sphere and his speak within the clubhouse to the media.
All he cares about is successful. Did the Padres win? In that case, he’s completely happy. If not, who cares if he went 4-for-4 with a pair further base hits. Didn’t get the win.
When he will get requested about successful the Rookie of the Month tomorrow, he’ll most likely have the identical response as when he was requested in regards to the Rookie of the Yr earlier this season.
“I don’t even care about that stuff,” he mentioned. “I couldn’t care much less about any Rookie of the Yr voting or All-Star voting. I care about our crew proper right here. I care about successful right here.”
