He was promoted from the Rookie League.
And for those who have no idea how the Minor League system works, it goes like this:
Major Leagues - the big show, the cream of the crop
AAA
AA
A+
A
A-Short season
Rookie League (also a short season)
Typically, top draftees go straight to A+. Hopefully AJ can show he can compete well at the A level since he was extremely dominant and competed well witth the best.
Congratulations, AJ. However, I'd be more excited for you if the team that drafted you wasn't a complete, total and disgusting train wreck.
But, hey, happy day!
The MLB draft is today, and AJ Morris is projected as a second or third round pick. Let's all wish him luck and hope that he has a healthy and prosperous career!
