Biographical Information

Nick Morabito played for the Italian national team before making his major league debut.

Morabito was selected by the New York Mets in the 2nd round of the 2022 Amateur Draft, and he went 2-for-22 with the FCL Mets in his first season as a professional player. He then hit .324/.437/.432 with 11 steals in 2023 in the FCL, and he also played 27 games with a .286/.403/.378 batting line for the St. Lucie Mets of the Florida State League. He was named a Mets organizational All-Star after the season. Morabito had a solid .397/.530/.513 batting line in 24 games in St. Lucie in 2024, being named the FSL's Player of the Month for April, then was promoted to the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones. He stole 48 bags with a .294/.373/.374 batting line, and he was named a post-season All-Star in the South Atlantic League. Morabito played with the AA Binghamton Rumble Ponies for the entire 2025 season, and he extended his elite performance. He hit .273/.348/.385 with 49 steals, ranking 2nd in steals in the Eastern League.

The speedy flyhawk then made it onto Italy's roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic. He got into three games, but had only one at-bat as Italy made it to the semi-finals. He started the 2026 season in AAA with the Syracuse Mets where he hit .253 in his first 41 games. On May 19th, he was called up to the majors, giving the Mets a potential outfield made up of three rookies, all of them with great speed as he joined Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing. He made his debut as the starting leftfielder against the Washington Nationals that day and went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts. Unfortunately, his most memorable play came on defense, when he crashed into the left field wall trying to catch a long drive by James Wood, and when he dropped the ball and it rolled away, Wood circled the bases for the first inside-the-park grand slam in the majors since 2022. He also made a nice catch diving into the stands in foul territory to catch a ball.
