Jay Merriweather: OF/SS, (2026) Olentangy Berlin High School, OH. 5-foot-11, 155-pound. (64.8 mph bat speed average). (17.1 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced quiet stance with a controlled load, then used a quick stride. Bat speed was efficient, showed a simple flat swing plane and high finish. Solid from the outfield, he made throws to the infield at velocities up to 75 mph; has sure hands, choppy feet, and a natural exchange. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Had a high ¾ slot with a loose arm action. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 7.63.
