Mershon is the younger brother of infielder David Mershon, who the Angels drafted in the 18th round out of Mississippi State in 2024, with Peter offering an impressive mix of hitting ability and athleticism. On the older end of the 2025 class, Mershon has been one of the top and most consistent offensive performers on the travel circuit the last couple years. He keeps his weight on his back side with a short righthanded swing geared to lift the ball. It’s a swing with good rhythm that’s typically in sync and on time with a good hand path, leading to consistent hard contact on the barrel. He regularly strings together quality at-bats with a low swing-and-miss rate, extra-base damage and the potential for 20-25 home runs. Mershon’s athleticism helps him at catcher, but scouts aren’t sure if he has the arm strength or defensive polish to stick behind the plate at higher levels. He’s a legitimate plus runner, so while he should continue to develop at catcher, his wheels and athleticism play well in the outfield.
