24. Yohandy Morales
Third Base, Miami
Morales was a popular draft name in 2020 with multiple teams having thrown money his way during the draft. He turned them down and elected to head to Miami to further his development. Morales had a very noisy swing in high school but it's quieted down considerably. He's much more direct to the ball these days without the anxious hands and feet in his load. An aggressive hitter, Morales isn't looking to walk, but he does limit his strikeouts to a reasonably healthy degree. He generates big exit velos and finds a lot of barrels, though his misses are too often dribblers on the infield. That, however, should improve with time and reps. At his best, "YoYo" does a ton of damage to the baseball and projects as a third baseman with an average hit tool, above average power, a solid average runner and a reliable glove.

15. White Sox: Yohandy Morales, 3B, Miami
After hitting 18 homers for Miami this past spring, Morales led Team USA by hitting .400 and slugging .600 in competition. The power from the right side for this 6-foot-4 infielder is very real.

Yohandy Morales, 3B, Miami
Morales hits for an exciting combination of average and power. The 6-foot-4, 208-pound right-handed hitter shows an ability to hit for above-average power to all fields. He is an aggressive hitter but limits his strikeouts.
Morales is agile for his size and shows quick actions defensively. He has a strong arm and profiles well at third base.

Morales could be available to the Mets but the question would be do they go 3B in the first round.
