USA CNT TRIALS:After posting a 7.71 ERA as a freshman reliever at Nevada in 2021, Morris took a nice step forward as a sophomore, going 7-5, 4.32 in 66.2 innings over 14 relief outings and four starts. His 53-22 K-BB mark wasn’t overly impressive, but his sheer stuff is, and he’ll get a chance to prove himself on the big stage as a transfer to TCU. Lean, wiry and projectable at 6-3, 170 pounds, Morris has a short takeaway to a high three-quarters slot. His best asset is a fastball that sat 94-96 mph during a three-inning start in Durham, and he complemented it with a promising but inconsistent three-quarters sweeping slider at 79-82 and a fringe-average changeup at 86-87.
