The group represented the biggest question mark in the spring after picking up unsigned Jurickson Profar and re-positioning rookie Jackson Merrill to center field
Jackson Merrill is the youngest player in Padres history selected to an All-Star Game. Who could have predicted the entire group, from foul line to foul line, would be named to the All-Star Game?
And even though Tatis won a platinum glove during his debut in right, he still was more wired to play shortstop. The Yankees claim the top two with Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, but no team has an entire group ranked anywhere close. Merrill began Sunday at No. 3 in baseball for home runs since June 12 , fifth in slugging and tied for ninth in extra-base hits. Just-hitting-stride type of stuff.
