Scouting Report
Drafted by the Marlins in 2024 (Round 1, $3.4M signing bonus)
October 2025 update: The South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year, Morlando was named Most Valuable Player at the 2023 High School All-American Game and was crowned the High School Home Run Derby champion.
Morlando is powerfully built with easy plus raw power thanks to well above-average bat speed. He has continued to bulk up since being drafted, going from a listed weight of 198 pounds to 220 pounds. During his senior year, he used an extremely wide stance with no leg kick or stride that was detrimental to his game power. He has since gone back to using a toe tap.
Despite being announced as a center fielder, Morlando is all but certain to move to the outfield corners as he progresses through the minor leagues. He mostly played left field at Low-A.
Various injuries have unfortunately limited Morlando to only 59 professional games. Arizona Fall League participation will get him some much-needed reps.
Injury history
- Lumbar stress reaction in 2024
- Left elbow ulnar nerve transposition and left hamstring strain in 2025
