@@brandonkelly8477 I didn't either brother. Someone mentioned him on one of the Holliday videos. And the kid is rock solid. But barely any hype at all. I blame the other Jackson 😆
@@Baseball-Buzz It's honestly weird. He's been hovering right around the 10th ranked prospect in all of baseball for about1.5 years. It's not like he a low end prospect who just started weirdly hot. Maybe it's just because it's the Padres and they don't get as much coverage? Also, Padres were over .500 last year.
The reason is simple: Holiday was a first round pick, Merrill wasn't. Also Holiday's father was a major leaguer, Merrill has no ancestry in the bigs. It's only normal to put the spotlight on a first rounder, but as the old saying goes: "Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." We will soon know who is the better of the Jacksons.
Bingo...a week or two ago, they were slobbering all over Yamamoto for his 5 inning "masterpiece"...That is fine though, the Padres seem to play better when they're under the radar.
Merrill went 6 for 12 during the next Dodgers series, at Dodgers stadium, with a game saving RBI during extra innings and all mlb talked about was Holiday’s first hit. Finally someone talks about Merrill for once🙏
Media doesn't spend much time with the Padres. As an ESPN commentator once said when he had a raging boner over seeing Mookie: tHaT's WhAt A rEaL sUpErStAr LoOkS lIkE nAnDo
The kids is doing it! I love that he isn't being hipped as much - just like the Padres. He is just fine where he is! Confident, mature and crushing it! Just keep doing your thing on the field Jackson! We Padre fans love this kid!
Because mlb hates on the Padres. Some of his stats are better than the other two Jacksons. I think your video and hopefully others will change the lack of respect Merrill is getting. If he keeps up his numbers eventually mlb and all the talking heads will have to pay attention to him. I think he will continue to do well. His bat to ball skills are great. He has already moved up in the lineup and if they move Xander he might get bumped up further. I hope they put Kim back at the #1 spot and then Merrill can get the #5 hopefully and who knows maybe he could be moved straight to #1 spot!
This kid is so much fun to watch I love how hyped he gets when he makes a big play or gets a hit . I saw his first home run and it was funny how everyone ignored him 😂but then gave him love
I say let Holliday have the spotlight. Merrill needs to just focus on doing what he does best. He's building a resume and letting his stats speak for itself.
I like underrated, they had Tatis Jr. The same way, it was Vladdy this Alonso that. Tatis is better then both of them and made the cover of the Show. Merrill will be fine and they will talk about him soon enough
If you watch Padre baseball, that’s all they talk about and it’s sickening. They talk about Jackson Merrill and how amazing he is more than Chris Collinsworth talks about Tom Brady.
Video is fine and nice for the more background on JM, but it does imply at the end that the Padres were an under 500 team last year and they were not. They were 82 and 80.
Is Jackson Holliday stealing all the limelight from Jackson Merrill?
I’ll be honest I don’t even know who Jackson Merrill was, just not as hyped as the rest of the up and coming stars

As a Padres fan I love him stealthily flying under the radar.
It won’t be for long though. As of 4/15/24 he’s batting .356.

@SanDiegoUteFan Not being under the microscope is probably takes a lot of pressure off. I think once people take notice, the kid will be a star.
because he is with the padres, it he were playing for the dodgers, yankees, etc. They would be choking on him 24/7

@@2384539 Ummm, Merrill was indeed a first rounder...It helps to have a clue.
This video aged phenomenally
Jackson of the Year!
I like him being underrated, he has way less stress, hype, and expectations and play even better
lets keep him lowkey. jackson is a gem for us in san diego. underrated lets keep it that way. lets go pads!
great vid
and he just got waaayy better in the last couple weeks
I been watching the Padres games and man he’s so good happy to have him on our team
It's probably working in his favor not being under the microscope. I'm excited to see what he becomes.

Come on dude... Holliday's 1 for 27 os where it's at 🤣
Respect to all the jackson debuting this season, Merill has to be my favorite
Nobody boutta believe me but my cousin is best freinds with Jackson merril because they went to the same highschool and they were good freinds
I believe it! That would be the strangest lie to tell lol

Lol love it this way as a Padres fan
Look at him now… he had a monster June and could be looked at the main reason for the Padres success this season
I wanna see the video of his call up/notification he made the team
Look at the last month....crazy.
The kids is doing it! I love that he isn't being hipped as much - just like the Padres. He is just fine where he is! Confident, mature and crushing it! Just keep doing your thing on the field Jackson! We Padre fans love this kid!
Thank you for giving this young man some credit….
All we hear here in San Diego is about the other 2 Jackson’s….
Ours definitely deserves more

You said "back to a .500 team" but despite missing the playoffs last year, we were still 82-80. Other than that, good vid.
I know, I read it 80-82 for some reason. Appreciate the kind words!
He is so good and so cool proud to have him on the pads he’s the Real deal dog!! as witnesses by yours truly
This kid is so much fun to watch I love how hyped he gets when he makes a big play or gets a hit . I saw his first home run and it was funny how everyone ignored him 😂but then gave him love
Back to a .500 team.. they’ve finished above that the last 2 years
I switched the 82-80 around in my head for some reason. That's my bad. Thanks for checking out the video though!

something you didn’t mention is that a lot of his at bats have been clutch
as a Padre fan I am excited about him but lets also calm down 22 games in.
This aged greatly
Rebuilding phase?? They have superstars and traded for cease and you think they're rebuilding? Baseball isn't your forte
Fr wtf is he smoking win or lose this team is all in certainly not a rebuild
That's my bad... also, Super Runtz.
2024 ROY!
We don’t want to overhype this guy. He only has a handful of ABs at major league level. But he’s a solid player and has a chance to be great
Padres rebuilding?
Bite your tongue!
don’t talk abt something ydk abt again bro😭
I like underrated, they had Tatis Jr. The same way, it was Vladdy this Alonso that. Tatis is better then both of them and made the cover of the Show. Merrill will be fine and they will talk about him soon enough
SHHHHHHH🤫
Yes and he doesn’t care
Holliday and Chourio (w/ his contract) stealing the show.
because East Coast Bias.

Nah. /
Cause he plays for the Padres and the national baseball media doesn't give a shit about us.
Hell... with the way Holliday was been playing, keep that boy a secret until he can't be ignored.
Because Jose Azocar is better than

The disrespect to Azocar is astonishing
