(Pulled from Valley Baseball League)

 

It has been decided by the Voters of the Valley Baseball League that Micah Morgan of the Harrisonburg Turks and South Alabama University is the 2023 South Most Valuable Player. Micah had an unbelievable season for the Turks in 2023. Micah was near the top in a multitude of offensive categories in ’23. He played in 43 out of 44 regular season games for the Turks and was Tied for 1st in RBIs (42), 2nd in Hits (56), T-1st in At-Bats (157).

 

Morgan led the Turks to 28-16 record during the regular season which was tied for 1st with the Charlottesville TomSox. Turks President Gerald “Buck” Harman says, “Micah did a lot for the Turks this summer. He is an excellent player, that can play three positions. Not only does he excel at the plate, [he] is a very good defensive player.” Though Micah didn’t make the All-Defensive Team in the Valley this summer he was the only player to receive multiple votes for two different positions–1st Base and the Outfield.

 

While it is apparent that Morgan is an excellent baseball player, what stands out is his leadership and demeanor off the field. Harmon praised Micah and his interactions with the community, “Our Fans really like him as a person. He always takes the time to talk to everyone.” It is very important that the young men who come to the Valley understand that without the support of the local communities, VBL baseball wouldn’t exist. It is guys like Morgan that make the VBL a special place for all in our communities.

 

Congratulations to Micah Morgan for being the South Most Valuable Player for 2023!
