It’s been a long time, filled with many articles over the years at times, filled with doubt. However, the time has come. Emilio Morales is sitting at a career home run total of 719, just one short of Bopper Kengos BBA record.
Morales, who is 38 years old, has notably spent his entire career with the Omaha franchise, powering his way through a stretch from 2035-2040 that is unmatched, or likely to ever be matched by anyone. In those 6 years, he hit 363 home runs, which is more than most all-star players muster in a career. His 900 runs batted in over that same time period is incredible.
Although not appreciated enough, Morales was incredible at putting the ball into play, as he nearly hit a home run for every strikeout recorded during his career. His career strike out number sits at 874, or 8.9%. He homered in 7.3% of his career at-bats.
This season, he has just 9 home runs in 285 at bats, and has struck out 38 times, as both numbers continue to trail in the wrong direction. He has been a negative WAR player this season statistically, having his worst season at the plate.
Though his stroke has faded as he has grown gray, let us never forget the impact that Emilio Morales had on the game for not only those 6 years, but during his career in the Brewster for both baseball fans in general, but especially those in the city of Omaha.
Morales one home run from greatness.(48.4)
