Kansas State has seen its fair share of talent go on to play Minor League, and eventually, Major League baseball. One former Wildcat hurler was hoping to turn a few heads during his time in the WBC.
A.J. Morris was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 4th round of the June, 2009 first year player draft. Morris made his Major League debut this past season with the Cincinnati Reds.
He didn’t have a great season, appearing in only 7 games, he pitched 10 innings with a 6.30 ERA. Morris gave up 9 hits, 8 BB’s, 2 HR’s, 7 earned runs, and struck out 9.
