In a big-time matchup against a quality lineup, Morgan stepped up and showed some of the best stuff we’ve seen from him. With a low heart rate and explosive arm speed, the Mizzou commit attacked with a heavy dose of the fastball/slider combo. Jumping out of the hand from a low three-quarters slot, Morgan creates good carry through the zone with run at 89-91 that gets on top of hitters quickly. Slider feel is evident at 73-77 with the ability to manipulate shape to both add and subtract sweep as well as land for in-zone misses. The overall athleticism stands out for Morgan on the mound at 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with real starting traits. High upside for Morgan.
