Michigan State-commit Nate Morris will make a quick pit-stop prior to landing on the diamond in East Lansing.

Morris, a lanky fire-balling lefty hurler, has transferred from Oxford to Clarkston for his senior year of high school. He committed to the Spartans last fall.

This is a big snag for the Wolfpack baseball program and he'll no doubt assume ace duties for C-Town next spring in his final season on the mound as a prepster.

Composed and smart on the bump, Morris can blow opposing batters away with his velocity or catch them off guard with his nasty breaking stuff and pin-point accuracy.

There are three OC diamond studs from the area's Class of 2014 committed to Michigan State. Besides Morris, the Spartans have already sewn up pledges from Walled Lake Western pitcher Andrew Gonzales and Orchard Lake St. Mary's catcher Will Salter.
