Who?
Only the Midwest League record holder in stolen bases. He stole 111 bases in 2001 for the Peoria Chiefs despite hitting just .294. He did rack up an on-base percentage of .398 with 83 walks added in to his total. Now, he is a coach at the College of Charleston.
Morris was in the Brewer system after a 2002 trade involving Jamey Wright and topped out at AA ball with Arkansas of the Angels organization in 2005."The Citadel gave me my start and I'm always thankful for that," said Morris, a second-year Charleston assistant drafted in the 15th round of the 2000 Major League draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. "I appreciate so much everything about The Citadel, but then you go to pro ball and kind of get away from it and then when you want to coach you have to figure something out."
No hard feelings. Fred Jordan is proud of his line of former players and/or assistant coaches. Ex-Bulldog Dan McDonnell, with fellow Citadel grad Chris Lemonis serving as an assistant, led Louisville all the way to the 2007 College World Series.
"We could never get him out when we played against The Citadel," [Charleston head coach John] Pawlowski said of Morris, "so when we had the chance to hire him, we did."
