If playing every day is the argument, then let’s just make a separate award for pitchers. What more could Skenes have possibly done to will the pirates to being a good team? He’s quite literally the best pitcher in baseball. If he started opening day he’d be the favorite for the cy young
Jackson plays Center Field for a playoff team. He leads all rookies in hits, BA, HR and RBI's. No one else. Did I mention the record for game tieing of winning home runs in 8thm 9th or 10th innings. Merrill only choice.
Hello Paul had how many total games where he helped them win & compared to how many games did Jackson Merrill play how many games did he contribute to winning plus did Paul’s help his team into playoffs or did Jackson contribute more? Not hard at all Jackson Merrill wins it no question!
Should be noted Skenes quick promotion after being drafted is not much if anything special compared to Merrill's 2023 season played almost entirely in A ball and played only something like 6 games of AA ball at the end of the season. To make a jump from A ball to playing a new position and being very successful at the plate at the MLB level is unheard of. This should be a learning year but instead for a short time a week ago he was challenging in Profar and Arraez for both the team and league leader in average(Arraez since then has gone in a tear and should win the title).
Skenes, as a rookie, has only lost 2 games, has an ERA in the area of 2, and if he was no a team like the Yankees or the Dodgers, Skenes would get it in a walkoff.
How can you forget Skenes is top 3 in all of MLB. Merrill is maybe top 5 on his own team!! This is a disgrace that Skenes is not getting the kudos he deserves... I am speechless. Remind me again who started the All Star game for the NL and who got in as a reserve player?? ROY is for the whole season not just who is hot right now or what team they play on!!
@Phil-h8b cause that's his position that got him in the all star game. He's also on a really good team with good players unlike skenes so yeah it makes sense that he wont be leading every category when he plays with machado, tatis, profar, xander, Arraez. Also he leads the Padres in XBH and slugging. He's 2nd in hits, HR, RBI,SB. And he's had some of the most clutch hits to propell this team into competing. He has done more to help his team win than skenes has. If you don't watch the Padres then you don't know and you're ignorant. Or you're just a hater. If skenes didn't shut down early or start late it would be his award. You can't start late and get shut down early and be surprised when you don't win a SEASON award.
MERRILL ROY!!
Jackson Merrill ROY
Merril
They should have 2 rookie awards pitcher and position player.
Merrill all day long
We would not be in the playoffs without Merrill.

Please, every day player vs once in 4 days
Jackson Merrill this shouldn't even be up for discussion.

MLB has a separate reward for the Cy Young (Pitcher of the Year) and MVP. The ROY should have two categories as well?

It’s not a popularity contest. Merrill is it
I’m told Jackson Merrill is “clutch” but owns a .500 OPS in two out situations with a RISP 🤔
This is a fact... LOL

Yup! The truth
A 1000 thousand's miles difference between??🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

Merrill top 5 on his own team? Your argument becomes very weak when you provide fake news.
Merrill is one of the best CF in baseball and has set MLB records this season.
@@SlinginDillys Gold glove in my book
@@SlinginDillys You are aware he does not lead his own team in any categories?? Like zero.
Also why compare him to other CF and not all OF? I wonder
