Wednesday, October 1st, 1997
Yes, Matt Morris is just a rookie. But he is a special rookie. Today the 23-year-old Oakland starter was awarded the United League Rookie of the Month trophy for his standout performance in September.

He dominated the rookie class, registering 4 wins and 1 loss in 5 starts with 36 strikeouts in 42.1 innings and a 3.19 ERA.

Not bad for a first-year man.

This year Morris has a 9-5 record with a 3.25 ERA in 14 starts.

A look at his season totals shows Ibanez with 39 home runs, .279 BA, .334 OBP, 109 RBIs and 96 runs scored.
