As a standout on the mound for the Coyotes, Reed City’s Noah Morgan will be continuing his pitching
career as a Jayhawk next season.
The fellow senior announced his commitment during the last week of the regular season according to head coach Eric Grannis.
“(Muskegon Community College) reached out to me and I really like their coach,” Morgan said.
Morgan becomes the third Coyote to commit to a collegiate program, joining Grand Rapids Community College signee Xavier Allen and Central Michigan University signee Max Hammond.
The southpaw finished regular season play with 86 strikeouts in 14 appearances. He also earned a spot on the CSAA All-Conference honorable mention team for his season performance.
“Like halfway through the season, I felt I was doing pretty good earning double digit strikeouts per
game,” Morgan said. “I worked really hard to get stronger and improve my off speed.”
While the Coyotes’ season ended following a district title game loss to Clare this weekend, Morgan said he made many good memories during his high school years. This included a conference championship, regional championship game appearance, and even a top-notch district semifinal performance a year ago.
“I pitched that game and scored the winning run too,” Morgan said. “It was a cool moment.”
Morgan will join the list of former CSAA honorees to play as a Jayhawk, including Big Rapids left-hander Sawyer Meeuwes, Fremont pitcher Drew DeBlake, and Tri-County catcher Nate Lovell. He also plans on studying mechanical engineering as a student.
