Emory Wheel: How does it feel having such a strong season?

Wilson Morgan: This season, I’ve been more comfortable on the field. I’ve been working hard and have definitely seen improvement throughout the season.

EW: Do you ever let the success get to your head?

WM: No, I try not to.

EW: The baseball team had a rocky start at the beginning of the season, but the team seems to have rebounded since. To what do you attribute this?

WM: We were in a similar situation last season. When our lives are on the line and we’re trying to make playoffs, we have to step up.

EW: What’s your favorite pitch to hit?

WM: As a lefty, I’d have to say the low inside fastball.

EW: Are there any trick pitches thrown in the league, for example a spitball?

WM: One of our pitchers threw a knuckleball one time; I think that’s pretty much the extent of it.

EW: What’s your favorite professional baseball team?

WM: Atlanta Braves.

EW: Where are you from?

WM: I’m from Atlanta.

EW: What are your plans for the summer?

WM: Probably just stay in Atlanta, work at some baseball camps and workout.
