Morejon, 18, gave up one run on three hits with one strikeout in three innings in his professional debut for short-season Tri-City.
There was some thought that Morejon would make his professional debut in the Arizona League, but the Padres opted to give their prized lefty a more aggressive assignment. Look for his stock to continue to climb as long as he is effective for the Dust Devils. It would not be surprising if he made it to the Midwest League before the end of the season.
