Drafted in the 12th round (351st overall) by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2016 (signed for $110,000).
View Draft Report
Morrison has a good profile as a lefthanded-hitting college middle infielder who can defend and run. He's pushed touted freshmen Nick Madrigal and Cadyn Grenier to other positions as he retained Oregon State's shortstop job, his third as a starter, interrupted only a broken left pinky finger in 2015. He has above-average range if not better at short with enough arm strength for the left side and plus speed that could play in center field. Offensively, Morrison has yet to take a step forward and strikes out a lot considering his lack of power. His swing is sound but he lacks present strength in his 6-foot, 182-pound frame. He may wind up in a utility role.

Scouts all heap praise on Morrison's skills before lamenting how unlikely it is that he'll sign. He has an athletic 6-foot, 175-pound build with above-average speed and smooth actions at shortstop. While he needs to get stronger and his swing could be smoothed out, he has a quick, line-drive swing and hits to all fields. Morrison is a first-five-rounds talent who will likely slide because he's considered firmly committed to Oregon State. He could be the Beavers' starting shortstop next year as a freshman and has a chance to develop into a Brandon Crawford type.
