He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Florida/Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Minnesota Twins, Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers.

Morrison was drafted after his senior year (2005) at Northshore High School in Slidell, Louisiana, by the Florida Marlins in the 22nd round, but decided to attend Maple Woods (MO) Community College, and was signed as a draft-and-follow prior to the 2006 Major League Baseball draft.

In his freshman year, Morrison batted .436/.532/.743 for the MCC-Maple Woods Monarchs

with 9 home runs and 45 RBIs in 140 at bats.

In 2007, Morrison batted .268/.343/.483 with 24 home runs (4th in the league), 86 RBIs, 71 runs scored, and 22 doubles in 128 games played for the Greensboro Grasshoppers.

In June he was named the Marlins' Organizational Hitter of the Month.

He was named a South Atlantic League Mid-Season All-Star.

He was the 2008 Florida State League MVP, and played in the 2010 All-Star Futures Game.

In 2008, Morrison batted .332/.402/.494 with 13 home runs, 74 RBIs, and 38 doubles for the Class High A Jupiter Hammerheads.

A broken bone in his right thumb limited Morrison to 79 games at Double-A in 2009, where he batted .277/.411 (7th-best in the league)/.442 with 8 home runs, 47 RBIs, and 18 doubles.

Entering the 2010 baseball season, Morrison was considered by Baseball America to be the #2 prospect in the Florida Marlins farm system, and the #20 overall prospect.

That season he made his major league debut with the Marlins.

Morrison was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and moved around a lot with his father, who served as a chief petty officer during his 28-year United States Coast Guard career.

Morrison has also lived in Wilmington, North Carolina; Key West, Florida; Newport News, Virginia, and Slidell, Louisiana.

In 2010, Morrison played for the Jupiter Hammerheads and New Orleans Zephyrs.

He was an MiLB.com Florida Organization All Star, and an All-Star Futures Game selection.

On July 27, 2010, the Florida Marlins called up Morrison to replace the injured Chris Coghlan.

He went 1–4 that night as the starting left fielder, recording his first major league hit in his debut.

In 2010 in the major leagues, playing left field he batted .283/.390/.447 with 2 home runs and 18 RBIs in 244 at bats, and was 8th in the National League in triples, with 7.

On August 13, 2011, Morrison was optioned back to the New Orleans Zephyrs.

Ten days later, he was called back up to the majors.

In his first at bat, he hit a home run.

On September 15, 2011, Morrison filed a grievance against the Marlins for what he said was an unfair demotion to the minors.

In 2011 in the majors, at 23 years of age in his first full season, playing almost exclusively left field, he batted .247/.330/.468 with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs in at 462 bats.

Morrison wore number 20 his first 2 years in Florida, before switching to number 5 in 2012 when the Marlins changed their name from Florida to Miami.

On February 11, 2012, Morrison switched to uniform No. 5. The number had been retired for the entirety of the Marlins' existence in honor of the late Carl Barger, the team's founding president and chief operating officer.

(Barger's favorite player had been Joe DiMaggio, who wore No. 5.) Morrison requested the number in honor of his late father, who had encouraged Morrison to model his career after Hall of Famer George Brett, who wore No. 5 for the Kansas City Royals.

On May 22, 2012, Morrison was moved to first base after the Marlins sent teammate Gaby Sánchez to Triple-A.

He had played first base before playing left field.

On June 10, 2012, Morrison was moved back to left field after the Marlins called Sanchez back up.

He played 21 games at first, with a fielding percentage of .994 and one error, and 59 games in left field.

In 2012 he batted .230/.308/.399 with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs in 296 at bats.

His season ended early due to right knee inflammation, and he underwent surgery to repair his patella tendon.
