Ventura, Calif. - The Uncommitted Spotlight Series takes a dive back into the 2025 class as this class begins its SR. year of High School there are still several talented uncommitted players in this class who figure prominently in our Class of 2025 Rankings.  All players featured within our Uncommitted Spotlight series are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts both through our in person looks at players and/or the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Swift Performance provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on the number 29 ranked player in the 2025 class in SoCal '25 LHP/1B Trey Morris from Washington Union High School. Morris checks in with a thicker strong build at 6'2 233 lbs. that has present strength to the lower/upper body with room to continue to polish/improve his physicality. He shows good actions moving around the 1B with good footwork including rhythm moving laterally/downhill to the ball and present arm strength (90 MPH INF arm velocity) with accuracy makes him a weapon defensively. While being a good defender at 1B is intriguing its what the LH hitter does at the plate that gives you two-way potential vibes for Morris. His operation at the plate during batting practice and game play is simple with a balanced set up, a small load with hands set just above rear shoulder and a simple barrel tip load. Once he gets to the launch position with balance and ease Morris uncorks an explosive/strong swing with ability to get into his legs for power and lift in his path that profiles impact to the middle/pull side of the field. His swing metrics jump out with impressive numbers including hand speed up to 22.8 MPH, explosive bat speed at 79.7 MPH while showing torque in his path to get up to speed quickly with 15.3 G's of rotational acceleration. His approach/timing and impactful swing combine into very good batted ball data from Trackman including a max exit velocity up to 101.3 MPH while averaging 94.6 MPH showing his power profile which is supported by his underlying batted ball data including a 370' max distance, 100% Hard Hit rate, 100% Sweet Spot rate and 64-80% Fly ball/Line drive rates during NorCal Preseason All State and ProCase West batting practice sessions.

While a LH hitter with impact power potential is intriguing when Morris steps on the bump the Central Valley Southpaw takes his whole profile to another level. His delivery is fairly polished, athletic, simple and repeatable with a loose fast arm path Morris shows plenty of present strength to what he can do on the mound. He showed off an impressive 3-pitch mix at the ProCase West where he worked a solid inning to kick start his summer. Morris ran his FB up to 90.2 MPH  while sitting in the 88-89 MPH range showing arm side life to the pitch including almost 15" of horizontal run on the FB while approaching 2400 RPMs of spin at its peak and control of the pitch landing 85% within the strike zone on Trackman. Pairing it with a 74-76 MPH SLD Morris can attack hitters on an East/West plane tunneling the two pitches together. As well, he drops in 82-83 MPH CHG which he has very good feel for and can effectively kill the spin on the pitch dropping down to 1600 RPM range with almost 13" of horizontal run on the pitch working well of the profile of his FB to his arm side. 

As he prepares for his SR. campaign at Washington Union High School in the Central Valley region the recent decommit from the University of Texas Morris is one that any college looking for impact from the LH side both on the mound and at the plate should be paying close attention to. Morris didn't throw extensively on the mound as a JR. due to recovery from an injury striking out 2 hitters in 1 IP at the end of the season. But, he put up loud numbers at the plate with a .372/.530/.744 slash line while crushing 6 home runs, 8 doubles, 3 triples, drove in 21 runs, scored 39 runs with a 22/12 BB-K ratio during his JR. season.
