Kerry Morrison
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Morrison also has a decent changeup. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Morrison, and that's saying a lot. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him. It's hard to explain but Kerry Morrison plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Morrison signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Morrison helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Morrison is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Morrison has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Morrison to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Morrison.
