Morrisey transferred from Venice (Calif.) HS to perennial power Serra (Gardena, Calif.) HS this year and increased his exposure and draft status as a result. Morrisey is one of the youngest players in the class and has an intriguing mix of power, speed and athleticism. He is an above-average to plus runner, shows hints of average power as a switch-hitter and is an accomplished pitcher with a fastball that reaches the upper 80s. He has good actions in the middle infield and projects to second base as a pro. Morrisey is strong for his frame, but he is undersized and still very raw. He struggled badly the few times he faced good velocity and will likely need two years in Rookie ball to catch up to his peers. Morrissey will still be 17 on draft day and has upside if a team is willing to be patient. He is committed to Cal State Bakersfield but is considered signable.
