Kendrys Morales

Kendrys Morales is a player I always associated with raw power at the plate. Born in Fomento, Cuba, in 1983, he made the difficult journey from Cuban baseball to the Major Leagues, where he became a feared designated hitter and first baseman for a long list of clubs. What I find compelling is his resilience, since few hitters bounce around that many teams and keep producing. The Cuban pipeline to MLB has given the game some of its most clutch bats, and Morales fits that mold perfectly. His career reminds me how much courage and adaptation it takes to remake your life and your sport at the highest level.
