Track Record: Morel signed with Texas in 2023 for a bonus of $97,500 on the strength of an intriguing but raw tool set. He spent his first pro season in the Dominican Summer League, where he led the league with 17 doubles, eight triples, 32 extra-base hits and 116 total bases. The XBH total was the most in the league since 2019, when Luis Matos had 33.
Scouting Report: Morel’s game is centered around his offense, which has the potential to profile at right field if he makes some improvements. Chiefly, he must make better swing decisions. He didn’t strike out at an extreme rate--just 24.5%--but his miss rates both in and out of the zone were a touch high for the level. If he improves in those areas, he’ll be able to access his plus power as he moves up the ladder. There’s work to be done on defense, where Morel must clean up his routes and jumps to remain in right field. He’s a fringy runner right now, and if he slows down he might have to move to first base.
The Future: Morel will advance stateside in 2024 and has the ceiling of a classic everyday right fielder.
