- Peter Vryonis discusses the breakout star Jackson Merrill who is leading the San Diego Padres to great success this season. He is the favorite to take home rookie of the year honors in the National League despite a great season from Paul Skenes.

It's funny you call the Padres the Clippers of the MLB. The Clippers used to be a San Diego team from 1978 to 1984, and they've recently announced very quietly that they're moving their G-League Team to San Diego and rebranding as the San Diego Clippers.
That said, Merrill should win the Rookie of the Year award, but I feel that the people who decide that have drunk too much of the Skenes Kool-Aid and are going to crown him regardless of how well anyone else does in the league.
@@Anim3Gamer livvy gonna dome someone up for him
I was watching one game and was like, man, would be great if they would load the bases and Merrill would clear them. Then it happened. Then another game I was like, "he can't hit ANOTHER HOMER to save us" (this was like after he had just done it like twice in the last week), and then he did it. And then yesterday I was just laughing my ass off after he walked it off. It's getting to that point where it's just absurd. The Barrell for ROTY!
We’re all thinking it man haha we just laugh now it’s insane
Merrill Madness 🔥
East cost bias it does exist Merril should win the rookie of the year and they should have 2 awards position and pitcher.
Disagree. Sometimes rookie pitchers deserve the award when there isnt a position player that stands out. You can have a pitcher with a 13-5 record with sub 3 ERA and 250-ish Ks that deserves the award over an every day player that batted .240 with 10 HR and 50 RBI. However this isnt the case, Skenes is having a great season but he didnt start the season, might barely win 10 games and his team is going knowhere, meanwhile Merrill is in the middle of a division race where the top 3 teams are playing at almost the same pace, and his impact has been felt FAR more than Skenes impact on the Pirates. His clutch play is literally historic.
He’s definitely fun to watch.
I heard a comparison the other day and it really is making a lot of sense to me: Derek Jeter.
Jeter from the moment he put on the Yankee uniform was a leader and also had the clutch factor to him that proved pivotal in the playoffs as evident by the 5 rings.
I love that! Great comp.
Ya, we HAVE TO sign Merrill. HAVE TO.
@@24tommysthe’s under team control for five years…relax lol
@@24tommyst He is signed with The Padres. Not certain what you are talking about. He would hate playing in the Yankees ball park where you so rudely boo your own players

The Padres are going to get Darvish and Tatis back very soon. They could be a very tough out in the postseason.
I can see them representing the NL in the World Series. I don’t think the Dodgers rotation is good enough.
💯
Can’t look past the Dbacks
The Padres also have a clubhouse full of great teammates, and that has definitely helped. They love that kid, as do we San Diegans.
They are an easy group to root for. I hope they go all the way.
From a Padres fan..... thank you.
I called it from the beginning, Merrill about to be the next superstar. He’ll be on the cover of the show within 5 years
He is the Padres Ken Griffey Jr
He might just be!
Love me, Jackson Merrill.
He crushed a pitch low and inside from mason miller for a walkoff and did the same thing to Edwin Diaz ,
He has elite bat to ball skills!
Kid is special team is special and tatis and darvish are coming too this team cpuld be scary come postseason time
He’s such a beast man. Really hope it’s our year. Nothing more I want then to see the padres win their first World Series with my dad.
Check out the video today. They are my pick to win it all. This group is very likable!
ROTY
YES.
If you watch Merill’s at bats when he makes these clutch hits, his intensity and focus is off the charts. You can literally see and feel how laser focused he is at the plate. It’s something great to watch. I hope he can keep this up for many years to come
He WANTS to be great. That is the most important thing. He clearly ahs the talent to be so!
This is not the best Padre team in franchise history. They're NOT catching the dodgers.
Best they can do is get either of the three WC spots.
Currently they have a five game lead on the Mets with 29 games left.
They'd have to go 23-6 in their final 29 to match the 1998 98 wins that team had.
That's not happening. As to the best rookie. Without question he's the best rookie in the National League, but he won't win it because of the bias with pitchers against position players.
Check out Devin Williams rookie year and tell me those numbers were better than any other rookie that year.
Merrill is a real good baseball player. He doesn't need a plaque that says ROY on it.
In games won during the regular season, this quickly, yes it has been the best padres team in franchise history
The Padres swept the Dodgers earlier this year
Merrill has already shifted to being the betting favorite for ROY, with the Pirates limiting Skenes' workload it's Merrill's award to lose at this point.
Merrill doesn’t need the plaque but the padres need the draft pick
Currently 3.5 games back. Dodgers have 3 vs the D-Backs and 3 vs the Padres late in the season. They could very well get knocked out of first from that, and the Padres end the season against the D-Backs. There's absolutely a path to win the division there.
