Hunter Morris and Baseball America

4302457.jpegBA’s weekend preview last week included a Q&A with Auburn slugger Hunter Morris (Falmouth ’10). You can read it here, but I thought I’d share the most interesting Cape League nugget:

You have played for Team USA and also in the Cape Cod League. How do you compare the experiences?

After my freshman year, playing for Team USA, it was awesome. We were the only USA team that had ever gone undefeated—it was just an awesome summer. But in the Cape last summer, that was probably the most fun I’ve had in a long time. You go out and face a Friday guy every time you step on the field. For me as a hitter, I felt like facing that kind of competition would really prepare me for this season. You face some really good competition with Team USA, but then you also face some teams that are not quite up to that caliber. I was a lot better for it, to be able to do that day in and day out for a full summer. It’s just an awesome place to play.
