While we, rightly or wrongly, have been getting all hot and bothered by the power shown by Riley and Wilson in recent days, GCL catcher Jonathan Morales has six home runs in his short GCL season, all since July 30. He hit a pair in his Monday game and followed that up with a two-doubles game Tuesday. He has raised his average from .213 on August 10 to .264 at present -- a sign he's figuring it all out. The funny part is he has six homers with wooden bats, yet hit only during his college season.
Righty hitter, 5-11, 180, maybe a steal in the 25th round.
