Joe Morgan  
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Morgan's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Morgan also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
A fluid delivery leaves him in good shape for fielding, and he has a reputation as a competent defender. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Morgan is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Morgan has some pop in his swing.
