Steve Morton  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Morton is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm is below average but not a major weakness given his solid defense. Morton isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Morton to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
