About Michael Morse
Michael John Morse is an American former professional baseball outfielder, first baseman and shortstop. Morse was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the third round of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants between 2005 and 2017. In 2018, he began a second career as a baseball broadcaster. Although Morse made it to the big leagues as a shortstop, with the arrival of Yuniesky Betancourt Morse began to develop as a utility player, having spent time at first base and left field. In his first four games at first base, Morse hit three home runs with eight RBI. With confusion reigning on the basepaths, Morse was tagged out trying to return to first base. After the season, he was awarded with the GIBBY Award for Oddity of the Year.
