Scouting the 2023 Draft: Yohandy Morales

 Yohandy Morales 3B.  DOB:  10/9/2001.  B-R, T-R.  6'4", 209 lbs. 

2022(College- Miami(FL):  .329/.411/.650, 18 HR, 6 SB, 34 BB, 60 K, 280 PA.

I remember Morales from when he was a HS prospect for the 2020 draft.  He had a strong commitment to Miami(FL) and was not selected.  He had a terrific long, lean body with lots of room to fill out his frame.  The concern was a lot of extraneous motion in his load and swing which seemed to lead to contact issues.  Since then, he's a bit more filled out and has taken out a lot of the annoying bat waggles, but still has a long swing with full arm extension which may make him vulnerable to inside heat.  Dad played for the Cuban national team and for several MLB organizations.  Extremely high ceiling but a lot of risk in the hit tool.
