Our history isn’t just about the past - it’s the foundation for our future.
One of the cornerstones of the Morley Eagles’ philosophy is player development. The club prides itself on nurturing young talent, providing pathways from introductory T-ball through to senior baseball and softball.
Many players who had their junior years at Morley Teeball, Baseball and Softball have represented both Western Australia and Australia at various tournaments throughout the years.
While a number of them have succeeded at international levels, only one Morley Eagles born and bred baseballer has played at the highest level in the USA and gained a Major League contract.
Luke Hughes started his playing career at Morley Teeball in 1990. He played all his junior baseball at Morley and was scouted by the Minnesota Twins in 2002 as an 18 year old. He played for a number of years at various levels in the US before making his Major League debut in 2010, where he hit a Home Run in his first at bat against the Detroit Tigers. He played for the Twins for 2 seasons and was then traded to Oakland Athletics in 2012.
Luke returned to Australia in 2014 and continued to play for Morley Eagles, Perth Heat and Australia until his recent retirement.

XXX -XXX17 - TONY ADAMSON
Tony Adamson was a power-hitting first baseman for Morley Eagles, Perth Heat, and Australia throughout his incredible career. Adamson “owned” Parry Field. His home runs, both in quantity and distance, are legendary.
He led the ABL in RBI’s three times, slugging twice and home runs twice. Adamson finished his ABL career with a batting average of .316. He amassed 252 RBI’s which, at the time, made him one of only two players to achieve over 200 RBI’s in under 1000 at bats. Adamson retired as the ABL career home run king with 71 and held that spot for two years after he had hung up his spikes.
Adamson represented Australia with distinction and was recognised as one of our country’s greatest international players for over a decade. His stellar international career culminated as an Olympian in 1988 at the Seoul Games.
