Anyone else super excited about Hunter Morris?

[Kelbysdaddy]

How did this kid drop to the 4th round with 23 home runs, 76 rbis, a .386 ba, and a .986 fielding percentage? i dont know too much about the SEC or even that much about college baseball but that line looks pretty sick. better than laportas stats when he got picked by the crew, very similar in size as well. What do you think the odds are that they'll keep him at 1b? might he be ready if prince leaves at the end of his contract(if the brewers dont trade him first.)?

super excited? No.

 

Sounds like we got a good value pick in the 4th round, but lets see him play ball before we anoint him the Prince heir apparent...

I'm excited. I'm probably too optimistic about a lot of prospects though. Its pretty remarkable that he was drafted in the 2nd round by the Red Sox and that he was one of the top or the top 1st base prospect in the draft.

 

Here's an interesting story about him and the Red Sox.

I'm pretty excited about Morris. Who knows, though, maybe we'll find out all too quickly why such a (seemingly) impact bat lasted into the 4th round

Really not sure what that's supposed to mean

He is gonna strike out a lot. What matters most for him is how his plate discipline translates from the SEC. His power is there.

Yeah Brad Nelson was another fourth rounder who tore the cover off the ball at first... They seem to find some decent bats there in the fourth. I have high hopes for Hunter but not going to get my hopes up. I heard he has some contact issues and I hate to see him become the next Katin

I would guess it would be a reference to how Gamel was picked a little bit later and has turned into a very good bat. He was a 5th rounder I thought though.

 

That's about as good a guess as I can get.

 

Anyway, I don't think anyone "anointed him" the heir apparent to Prince. The question was "might he be ready to take over".....not that he'd some how replace Prince. Simply be ready to play 1st in a short period of time.

was wondering if Jim Morris is his father, who the movie the rookie was based on, i believe his sons name is Hunter?

LH power is sought after, it is astounding he fell, especially since he's athletic enough to play OF.
