==Early life==
Merchant was born on January 23, 1969, in Dunkirk, New York. He attended Oviedo High School in Oviedo, Florida, where he played baseball. He was named to the all-state team his junior year. In his senior season, Merchant had a batting average of .419 with seven doubles, two triples, five home runs, and 23 runs batted in (RBI). He successfully stole 48 bases out of 49 attempts, and was again named to the all-state team.〔 Coaches from District 7 of the Florida Athletic Coaches Association named Merchant the Florida Player of the Year. According to the ''Orlando Sentinel'', it wasn't "uncommon" to see dozens of scouts at Oviedo's games.
For scouts, he ran the 60 yard dash in 6.6 seconds, which ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' considered a good time.〔 〕 The newspaper also said that, outside of pitchers, he had the best throwing arm in the 1987 Major League Baseball Draft.〔 Writing for ''Sports Illustrated'', Peter Gammons considered Merchant to be the second best prospect available, behind Ken Griffey, Jr.. In the draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected Merchant second, after the Seattle Mariners had chosen Griffey, Jr. first overall.〔 Within three hours, he signed a contract with the Pirates.〔
