The skinny: Morris posted a batting average of .473 this season with 12 HRs in just 93 ABs. His OPS was an astounding 1.604.

MLB.com says: "Morris has decent bat speed but his approach at the plate will need some adjusting... The big, strong left-handed hitter has a body type similar to Nick Johnson... Morris has put up some ridiculous numbers as a high school outfielder and he does have some pretty legitimate raw power from the left side, a commodity often in high demand. The rest of his game is behind the pop, with his overall approach at the plate needing some work and his defense average at best. Some see him as a fourth outfielder at the next level, but someone is sure to take a chance on his power potential."

brewerfan.net says: "Morris has a very mature, strong frame that allows him to hit for plenty of present day power. That power is generated from a big uppercut swing from the left side of the plate, of which he'll have to tone down somewhat to avoid lofty strikeout totals at the next level. It will be hard to tinker with his swing since he crushes mistakes like few others. He is a good overall athlete, although he has more lateral quickness than foot speed, which means he would be a better prospect if he were able to stick at third base as opposed to a corner outfield spot, although first is also an option if he keeps on mashing. He was an Aflac All-American, and has committed to play for Auburn."
