Watch: Whit Merrifield homers vs Red Sox in Grapefruit League Play

The Philadelphia Phillies newest piece is fitting in just fine.

On Saturday in the Phillies Grapefruit League opener in Dunedin Whit Merrifield picked up a double in his Phillies debut. Monday, Merrifield ripped a solo home run to left field in the third inning against Boston Red Sox left-hander Lucas Luetge down in Fort Myers at Jet Blue Park.

Watch the home run here:

Who is Whit Meffield?

Merrifield, a three-time All-Star, was not re-signed by the Blue Jays when he hit free agency after the 2023 season. Instead, the 35-year-old landed with the Phillies, signing a one-year, $8 million contract with an $8 million club option for 2025.

Last season in 145 games with Toronto, where he slashed  .272/.318/.382 with 11 homers, 67 RBI, and 26 stolen bases for the Blue Jays.

Philadelphia no doubt hopes that Merrifield can be a key depth piece, who plays all over the diamond and hits up and down the lineup.

The three-time All-Star comes into this season a role player and is expected to share time in the outfield and at second base against lefties.
