Samuel Franco brings lefty depth and strike-throwing value to Merrimack
In the 2025 season, Samuel Franco appeared in 14 games for Merrimack, including one start, and worked 22.2 innings with 12 strikeouts while earning one win; he also showed enough trust from the staff to get a 2026 win over Quinnipiac. His calling card is reliable left-handed depth with a starter’s background and a competitive profile that helped him earn first-team all-state honors before college. He looks like a useful fit for teams that want a tough, low-drama strike-thrower who can handle innings and give a lineup a different look from the left side.
