Following his success with LSU in the College World Series, [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] is off to a hot start in the Rays organization.
The Rays used their third-round pick on Morgan last month. He was lauded for his bat to ball skills and elite defense. So far, he’s living up to the hype.
In Single-A, he’s hitting .400 and to pair with his .538 on-base percentage.
On the whole, Morgan’s professional OPS is sitting at 1.063 with 13 hits in just nine games. Morgan is producing despite being a year younger than the average player in his league.
Perhaps the most impressive feat thus far is Morgan has only struck out once.
Former LSU first baseman Tre Morgan went 3 for 3 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and scored twice for the Charleston RiverDogs last night. He's batting .400 with a .538 OBP for the Rays Single-A team.

It’s early and Morgan still has a lot to prove at this level, but with his defense, we could see Morgan in the big leagues sooner than most third-round picks.
He was a three-year starter at LSU, so he’s no stranger to big-time baseball.
