Dasaan
Lee

Morton JC commit. Currently ranked No. 82 in the state, Lee went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored out of the cleanup spot for the Meteors. Standing in at a well-proportioned 6-foot, 200-pounds, Lee has a strong, slightly uphill bat path with intent to lift the ball. He doubled in his first at-bat driving the ball to the opposite gap, and later showed a patient and disciplined approach late in the game to draw a walk to load the bases during the Meteors’ seventh inning rally.

Verbally committed to Morton JC.
