09/04/2020 - MS All-Region Tournament Jackson is a skilled R/R OF who showed well at the All-Region Tournament. In the OF, he has active prep and takes a quick first step. He takes solid routes/angles to track down fly-balls and works into position behind the ball, securing it with 2-hands. He gathers well and has a clean transfer, firing strong/accurate throws to his target. With the bat, this righty has a balanced setup with smooth rhythm to load. He jumps on pitches he likes, barreling the ball up and spraying it to all parts of the field. Only a 2025 grad - Merdalo has an impressive skill-set that will only continue to get better. He's one to keep an eye on.
