Matt Morrison  
Starting Pitcher | London Mustangs

Pitching
When sportscasters talk about Morrison's rubber arm, they're not kidding. Sometimes I think he can start both games of a double header! It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. His composure needs work. When Morrison starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. Never a hard thrower, Morrison now has games when he can't hit 85 MPH with his fastball. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
For a lefty, his move to first base is average at best, and he has a tendency to forget about runners at second, thereby creating opportunities to swipe third. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. 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.
