UPPERCLASSScorpions Founders 2020
Richard Morales, SS, Lakewood Ranch (2020)Tulane commit, Morales was one of the biggest standouts of the weekend. If the Scorpions won the Championship, would've been the likely MVP. He consistently stayed on the barrel with above average bat speed and a compact, level swing. Although impressive offensive, he really shined defensively. He shows an above average feel for the position combined with functional athleticism and above average hands. He showed the ability to make every play needed to be a plus defender at the next level. Overall, he was extremely impressive and on the rise.
