Morales was drafted by the Braves in the 25th round of the 2015 draft out of Miami-Dade College, a school that the Braves have frequented for picks over the years. Morales was a young draftee, just 20 in spite of being a college draftee.
The Braves assigned him to the GCL, and Morales showed that he was going to be a tremendous steal in the 25th round, hitting .304/.377/.511 with 7 doubles and 7 home runs in 152 plate appearances with a 14/14 BB/K ratio.
Morales was moved to Rome in the Southern Atlantic League this season, and he’s had his ups and downs.
