Timeline
Julio Ruben "Jerry" Morales Torres (born February 18, 1949) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played from to.
Morales was originally signed by the New York Mets as an amateur free agent at the age of 17 in 1966.
He went to the San Diego Padres in 1968 in that year's expansion draft, and spent several seasons going up and down in the Padres' farm system, finally becoming a semiregular in and.
Morales, who ended up playing seven seasons for the Cubs over two stints (1973–, –1983) was a consistent and quiet outfielder who played all three outfield positions with above average speed and a good glove.
He was known for his unusual "basket catch" style.
Unless he was running when he caught a ball, he always made a two-handed basket catch, directly in front of his body, below the belt.
While Morales led the Cubs with 91 RBI during the season, his most promising season was for the 1977 Cubs.
The hit by pitch, one of 28 in All-Star Game history, a subsequent back injury, and a broken finger from making a catch in center field all shortened the 1977 season for Morales.
His injuries contributed to the Cubs decline that season, and Morales never seemed to be the same player.
In the offseason between the 1977 and season, Cubs general manager Bob Kennedy traded Morales, Steve Swisher, and a player to be named later to the St. Louis Cardinals for Héctor Cruz and catcher Dave Rader.
The Cardinals acquired Morales to improve the team's offense.
Morales returned to the Cubs as a free agent before the 1981 season, and made his final appearance for Chicago in 1983.
In a 15-year, 1441 game major league career, Morales compiled a .259 batting average (1173-for-4528) with 516 runs, 95 home runs and 570 RBIs.
After the 1983 season, Morales immediately began his coaching career by becoming the Cubs roving minor league hitting and outfield instructor; he served in this position through 1986.
From 1987 to 1990, he was a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After a twelve-year break from MLB, he became the Montreal Expos first base and outfield coach from 2002 to 2004.
In 2006, he was a coach in Puerto Rico and with the Gulf Coast Mets.
From 2007 to 2008, he was the first base coach for the Washington Nationals.
In February 2009, he was named a coach for the St. Lucie Mets.
At the time of the Beckert deal, Cubs general manager John Holland believed acquiring Morales was "in line with our movement for youth and speed" (Dozer, 11/13/73).
In the same offseason, the Cubs also moved Ferguson Jenkins, and, at the time of this trade, speculation was that by acquiring Morales, Billy Williams would either be moved to first or traded.
By trading Jenkins and Beckert, whose salaries totaled over $200,000, the Cubs payroll decreased.
As of 2019, Morales was running a baseball camp in Puerto Rico.
