Because it is the closest to the sun. The Sun's gravitational field (in conjunction with centrical force) is what causes the orbit or the planets. Gravity is four times more powerful if you halve the distance between you and the gravitation field, so therefore Mercury experiences the most gravity of any planet. This causes Mercy to spin rapidly around the Sun.
