The Keepers - #48 - RP - Will Morgan

48. Will Morgan – RP – Rookie –

You have to follow Mets minor league baseball every night in order to add someone like Wil Morgan to your list.

It’s not that Morgan has played that bad; he just hasn’t played much.

He was a 12th round pick in the 2007 draft and went straight to Brooklyn after signing, where he turned heads, striking out 39 in 35.2 innings. He had a 5.6 H/9, a WHIP of 0.84, and he was on “keep an eye of” list by the end of the year.

Morgan jumped Savannah in 2008 and opened up with Lucy, but, after only three outings, he went down with an injury in late April 2008 and has only got back to pitching in late August of this year, with the GCL Mets.

From: http://www.dembrooklynbums/: - Last season, Will Morgan was the glue that held the Brooklyn Cyclones bullpen together. Posting an uber-im­pressive 2.02 ERA with 39 strikeouts in 22 relief appearances in 2007, Mor­gan was a NY-Penn League All-Star and one of the most dominant reliev­ers in the league

In 2009, Morgan pitched for both the GCL Mets (0-0, 0.00 in 3 appearances, 7-K, in 4.0-IP), and St. Lucie (1-1, 2.70, in 2 appearances, 4-Ks in 3.1-IP.

His combined professional stats over three seasons are: 4-1, 1.91, 0.85, in 30 appearacnes, 53-Ks in 47.0-IP, and only 9-BB.

Forecast: Morgan will play 2010 as a 25-year old, so expect him to star next season at either St. Lucie or possibly, Binghamton. Remember, he’s never pitched bad, so keep an eye on this guy.
