    Focus Area
    Comments
    Hitting ability:Morris is very athletic, but has some problems with his swing and lacks hittability.
    Power:He has some limited power potential, if his swing can be fixed.
    Running speed:Has above-average to fringy-plus speed.
    Base running:Runs the bases pretty well.
    Arm strength:He has an average arm (at best) from the outfield.
    Fielding:He's a solid defender overall.
    Range:He uses his speed well to track down balls.
    Physical Description:Morris is fairly tall and athletic, a guy who has played football and run track.
    Medical Update:Healthy.
    Strengths: Speed is his best tool and he's a pretty good defensive outfielder.
    Weaknesses: The bat. He doesn't have great offensive instincts.
    Summary: Morris is an athletic, switch-hitting outfielder whose best tool is his speed. He uses it well to play a good defensive outfield. Offensively, however, issues with his swing keep him from having good timing at the plate. The Arizona State signee could get drafted by a team that feels they can fix his swing mechanics and help him use his athleticism to his advantage.
