Addison Merritt brings contact bat, defensive flexibility, and early-career upside to ETSU
Merritt is a versatile **C/UTL** option for East Tennessee State who flashed promise in 2025, hitting .250 with an RBI double and her first career hit before collecting a 2-for-2 game against Saint Louis; that profile suggests a player whose value is rooted in adaptability, steady contact, and lineup flexibility rather than pure power. She looks like a useful fit for a staff that wants a reliable role player with room to grow, especially if you value catchers/utility athletes who can cover multiple spots and compete for at-bats without needing the ball to leave the yard.
