Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior center fielder led the Eagles to the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference and DCSAA tournament titles this past season. Morabito batted .545 with 12 home runs, 10 doubles and six triples. The co-Player of the Year in the WCAC, he walked 29 times and stole 52 bases, compiling a .644 on-base percentage and a 1.119 slugging percentage while playing superb defense in the outfield.

Morabito has maintained a 3.33 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at Virginia Tech this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in July’s Major League Baseball draft.

Exemplary Character

Morabito has volunteered locally with the Father McKenna Center food drive. He has also donated his time with the Share Food Network and as a youth baseball coach and mentor.
