After not making our 2016 top prospect list,Julian Merryweathermade one of the biggest leaps in 2017. He joined the Cleveland Indians organization back in 2014 when he was drafted in the fifth round of the June draft out of Oklahoma Baptist, a NAIA college.
He’s a 25-year-old California native who stands 6-feet-4 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. The big right-hander began the 2016 season with the Advanced-A Lynchburg Hillcats before getting promoted mid-season to Double-A Akron, after being a Carolina League All-Star.
