PORT CHARLOTTE — Rays Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier was running down fly balls during batting practice last week at spring training, anything and everything, and letting people know it, too. That’s just K.K.
THWACK.
A home run ball, supremely crushed.
“Catch that, Kiermaier!”
Then Logan Morrison said something else, not suitable for print, but perfect for the batting cage. Everyone laughed.
Say hello to LoMo.
Morrison, 28, a hulking 6-foot-2, 240 pounds, was acquired from Seattle in the offseason. The Rays hope his bat (17 homers and 54 RBIs last season) adds punch.
