20. Toronto Blue Jays | Tre' Morgan, 1B, LSU 

Morgan is a bit of a tweener right now in that he’s a 1B-only who hasn’t shown huge power, but at this juncture we’re betting on that power to come. The batted ball data is strong, and he makes a ton of contact while walking a good amount and playing Gold Glove caliber defense at first base. 

The Jays would do well to grab him here in this hypothetical, and he has the ingredients to be quick to the Big Leagues even as that power continues to manifest itself more and more into game action. -BS

Tre' Morgan

Louisiana State

Morgan is one of the best defensive first basemen college baseball has seen in quite some time, and that's not to take anything away from the bat. Morgan has been a force in all phases of the game since arriving on campus and brings a ton of tools to the table. He won't be 21 years old yet next July, so he'll be young for the draft. 

Morgan doesn't pack a ton of punch at the plate just yet, largely projected a fringe-average power hitter, but he hardly ever strikes out and has posts healthy contact rates, using the entire field. If he continues to get stronger and adds a little game game thump, he's got top ten pick upside.

In my book, Morgan is Dom Smith v2.0.

Great defense, good bat, but only developing power.
