Morgan Brinkle  
Relief Pitcher | Kelowna Okanagans

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his sinker. He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has a quick release to the plate, which allows catchers a chance to throw out basestealers. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Brinkle is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Brinkle has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
