Emil Morales

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #19 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Morales was one of the top offensive threats in the 2024 international signing class. The Dodgers made him their top international signing when he became eligible to sign on Jan. 15, 2024.
  
  Scouting Report: Morales consistently strings together quality at-bats. He has a mature offensive approach, recognizes pitches well and has performed well against live pitching. It’s a sound swing for his age with power that has trended up as he has added strength to his lower half and should spike more in the coming years. Morales is an offensive-oriented shortstop who is built more like a third baseman, with many scouts believing he will slide over to third base in the near future. He’s a below-average runner who is a steady defender on the balls he gets to at shortstop with a solid-average arm, though his actions and mobility likely fit best at third base.
  
  The Future: Morales will likely follow the path of recent top Dodgers international signings like Joendry Vargas by making his pro debut this year in the Dominican Summer League.
