He worked even harder this offseason after only having 80 at bats all of last season, collecting a modest 28 hits, and eight RBI. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morales\u2019 hard work is paying off. This season, he is batting a team leading .390, with two home runs, 24 RBI, six doubles, nine stolen bases and a .488 slugging percentage. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s also provided versatility defensively, playing every infield position except first base. In his second season, Morales accepted the transition from infielder to catcher at the start of the season to set the defensive strategy for the team, but after multiple injuries, he is once again seeing time at shortstop, second base and third base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morales has a team high 74 assists, a .968 fielding percentage, and has turned 23 \u00a0double plays while making only five errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s our best catcher, he\u2019s our best shortstop, he\u2019s our best second baseman, our best third baseman, he\u2019s probably our best clutch hitter,\u201c Price said. \u201cHe\u2019s willing to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morales\u2019 teammates have taken notice. They see him taking extra batting practice and fielding grounders after games. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe leads by example. He goes about his business every day,\u201d said freshman catcher Dakota Robbins, who took over for Morales behind the plate when he shifted back to the infield. \u201c[He] works hard everyday and everyone looks up to him and just respects him very much. When he goes [on the field] we know he\u2019s going to get the job done. Everyone has faith in him no matter what.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile Morales has remained focused on getting the Sharks back to the National Championship game where they fell short last year, losing to Iowa Western College 17-5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks are currently 24-19 overall (13-11 in the Southern Conference) fighting to qualify for the State Tournament held on June 7-13 in Lakeland, Florida<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe want to go back again,\u201d Morales said. \u201cWe\u2019re not the same team, but we have the same talent and we can do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks next \u00a0home game is \u00a0April 21 versus Broward College at the Miami Dade College Baseball Field, 11011 S.W 104 St., at 4 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Morales leaves his batting gloves in the dugout when he\u2019s up at the plate.
