Tre Morgan in the hunt for MiLB batting title

If he keeps playing this well, Tre Morgan will be called up again sooner than later.

[autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] has been a star in the [autotag]Tampa Bay Rays[/autotag] farm system. He earned All-Star honors and was selected to play in the MLB Future’s Game thanks to how well he has played this season.

Now he looks to add another accomplishment to the year. The season is winding down and, as of now, Morgan leads all full-season qualifiers in batting average. Across two classifications (Morgan has played for the Rays single A-team and the Rays A+ team) he has a .358 batting average.

He was called up to the Bowling Green Hot Rods after playing well for the Charleston River Dogs. Since receiving the call-up, he has played even better. Morgan has a .378 batting average in 52 games. He’s hit 17 doubles, one triple, six homers, and 44 RBI. His on-base percentage is up to .453 and his slugging percentage is up to .570.

If he keeps playing this well, Morgan will be called up again sooner than later.
