Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 19 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 165 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Slight frame; plenty of room to fill out. Small wrists.
Hit: Slightly open stance but closes as he loads. Keeps his knees tight. Significant pre-pitch movement. Steps into the ball. Short, level swing that creates mostly line-drives. Average bat speed. Good bat-to-ball skills. Projectable swing. Grade: 45
Power: Below-average raw power. Has a nice swing and added strength will help him drive the ball more but he will not be a power threat. Grade: 40
Field: Good range at SS. Moves well laterally. Plays with bounce and shows good reactions in the field. Not afraid to charge the ball. Stays low and keeps the ball in front of him. Shows an ability to backhand the ball if necessary. Some experience at 2B and 3B in showcases. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength at SS. Throws 3/4 from SS on routine plays but drops the arm when he needs to get the ball out quick. Accurate throws from SS to 1B. Quick transferer. Arm may play better at 2B. Grade: 50
Run: Plus times in the 60 yard dash as an IFA. Runs well but may lose a step as he fills out. No in-game times down the line. Grade: 60
Overall: Morel looks good in the field and has a projectable body. The lack of impact potential with the bat hinders the overall package, and he probably fits best as a backup/utility infielder.
