Rebecca Merkes is a steadier-than-you-think spark for FDU
Rebecca Merkes gives Fairleigh Dickinson a compact, winning profile: in the 2025 season, she started 29 games, hit .250, and drew 12 walks for a .394 on-base percentage, then backed it up with reliable defense in 2025 by handling catcher duties cleanly with a 1.000 fielding percentage. She also flashed some run creation in 2026, including producing RBIs in conference play and stealing a base. The fit is obvious: she looks like a grinder with discipline, defensive versatility, and enough contact ability to keep an offense moving.
