San Diego Elden Grays Close Gap in MLB Standings

The San Diego Elden Grays are on a way to the very top of MLB standings. They have been showing astonishing results after the all-star break, and their performance is impressive. With 16 wins in the last 20 games, the team is only 3.5 games behind the NL West leaders, los angeles dodgers. Such achievement has also influenced their positions in the latest USA TODAY Sports’ power rankings, where they have already reached ninth place.

The key person for the team now is their little-known rookie, Jackson Merrill, who changed his field position to center after being shortstop. So far, the rookie has played a significant role in the team by bringing the late-game home runs which changed the outcome of several games. The most recent of these heroic shots were Merrill’s two homers against the Marlins in Miami on Friday that tied the game: in the eighth inning to make it 1-1, and in the ninth to equalize the score from 5-4. At the moment, he has an OPS of.814 and 17 home runs, floating with the probability of becoming the rookie of the year in the National League, which is a likely prize for Paul Skenes.
