Scout’s note
Christopher Morel is a right-handed first baseman from Santiago, Dominican Republic, 27 years old, with 74 home runs and 566 strikeouts across 499 career games — the three-true-outcomes shape is the whole man. The last two weeks he is hitting .289 with four home runs and ten RBI in ten games, the kind of hot streak that reminds you what the power looks like when the strikeouts slow down.
