INF Merrick Sullivan (Benet, 2025) gave our staff an impressive look on Tuesday. Listed at 5-foot-11, 184-pounds, the right-handed hitter is quick from the launch position, working with an uphill path with intent to lift to his pull-side, creates some bat-speed. Sullivan reached up to 94 mph for his max EV with a max distance of 326’, staying on the sweet spot 80% of the time per TrackMan. He showed well on the infield, too; boasting fluid and active footwork both pre-pitch and through the baseball, soft hands with confident actions, clear feel for the position. Arm played with life across the diamond, topping out at 85 mph with a quick ¾ release.

MIF Merrick Sullivan (Benet, 2025) really looked the part at the plate this past weekend. The right-handed hitter has some pre-pitch rhythm in his hands, working into a short toe-tap load before firing through the zone with a loose and flat path, staying through the zone a long time with a hitterish presence in the box. Quality defender up the middle with steady hands and some range to both sides of his glove. A name to follow heading into the spring season.
