Scouting report

Sequestered at the alt site, Morgan's blurb remain's the same, though I'll note here that his velocity once again held in the upper-80s in 2020. His velocity bounced back from 2018's career low and now, back in the 88-90 range and aided by some deception, his fastball is a viable big league offering. The impact pitch is Morgan's changeup, which has disorienting angle and fade. I think he'll live off of his strike-throwing (he has good breaking ball utility even though it's not a nasty pitch) and changeup enough to be a fifth starter. (Alternate site)
