Thanks, Whit. Facing off against Olympic sprinter Justin Gatlin and NPB's Haruki Nishikawa, Merrifield seemed to hold his own -- making it to the latter rounds of the competition. Luckily, Twitter user @STRKC8 provided us with some clips of his performance, including a shot of shirtless Whit. Listen to the crowd roar as he removes his tank:

Merrifield ended up losing in the end, but he represented MLB well. This is truly the best kind of offseason training.
