Blake
Morrow

11.04.18
Morrow is a projectable, offensive infielder and left-handed hitter with a strong frame at 6-foot, 160-pounds. Starting from an open, wide stance, he triggers his hands down and back, cocking the barrel in front of his head as he lifts his front leg, coiling his hips and pinching his knees together. Lands athletic with separation, leveraged hack, ultra-quick hands throw the head through the zone, creating hard contact and a top exit velocity of 85 mph. Strength throughout with more power to come in the future. On the infield, Morrow’s arm works well from ¾ slot with accuracy and a top velocity of 75 mph. Clean exchange, soft hands, quickish footwork.

Morrow is an athletic, left-handed hitting infielder with loose hands and life in his hack. He has a still-developing frame at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds, but look for him to advance quickly as he continues to add strength. In the box, he starts from an open stance with his hands set into a low, relaxed position. Smooth load with a balanced, low-hanging reverse leg lift as he pinches his knees together and whips the barrel back and forth as he triggers his hands. Lands soft with good energy in his lower half. Very athletic swing for a freshman, easy lower half transfer, quick hands, slightly uphill path, extends through contact with a strong top hand and loose finish. Hard contact through the middle of the field during batting practice. On the infield, he has fundamental actions, quick footwork and rhythm through the catch. Soft hands out front, quick midline exchange into a clean, elbow dominant arm swing. Accurate arm across the infield at 68 mph. Although the measurables are pedestrian, with Morrow’s actions and feel to hit, he should be a fun player to watch over the next couple of years as he continues to develop.
