Early life and amateur career

Logan Morrison was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and moved around a lot with his Coast Guard father (Tom). He lived briefly in Wilmington, NC between the ages of 8 and 12 before returning to the Midwest.

Morrison was drafted after his senior year (2005) from 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.
