No Alabama high school catcher has gone in the first five rounds of the Draft since the Mets took Craig Brazell in the fifth round in 1998. Brazell played only briefly in the Major Leagues, while Morgan has enough promise offensively and defensively to project as a possible regular.
Unlike many of the top catching prospects in the 2014 Draft, Morgan creates little doubt that he'll be able to stay behind the plate. He has solid arm strength, receives the ball well and is an agile defender. Scouts give him high marks for his leadership skills and competitiveness, as well.
Morgan also can do some damage with his bat. He gets good extension with his right-handed swing and will develop more power once he learns to turn on pitches more frequently. For now, he's content to use a gap-to-gap approach that shows good maturity for a high school hitter.
