The Pittsburgh Pirates are signing catcher Justin Morris as a non-drafted free agent. He attended the University of Maryland for four seasons after he was drafted in the 35th round out of high school. He was actually highly regarded as a catching prospect out of high school, getting offers to sign in the top ten rounds from multiple teams. Morris decided to attend Maryland, where his older brother played at the time. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015, so they spent just one season together.
Morris is a 22-year-old lefty hitter. He put up big numbers in high school, which never carried over to college ball.
