+ I love the athleticism that Morris brings to the bump, and strikes come with it in bunches. The 6-foot-1, 195 pound RHP/SS added quality strength to his frame this offseason allowing for a velocity tick. He pitches with an up-tempo, athletic delivery that lands cross-strided and he gets elite scap retraction during a long, deep, full-circle arm action. The arm is super quick and produced an 87-89 mph heater that came outta the hand with life and played with ride (16" IVB, 2400). The feel for spin is present and he showed a swing-and-miss slider that played in the mid-70s & spun in the 25-2600 range with big sweep (17" plus) & depth. The 77-78 change is also a really good pitch, fading off the table late with 18" of arm side. There is starters' upside here with the aforementioned athleticism and strike-throwing nature, especially considering that the stuff continues to tick.

I like the way that RHP/SS Jacob Morris (New Palestine) has progressed on the mound since looks last fall. A wiry, athletic, 6-foot, 180 pounder with body control - Morris uses a loose, clean arm swing that whips to a 3/4 release point. The two-way performer sat 85-87 on his heater, touching 87.5 mph on his best fastball. His breaking ball spins at 70-72 mph with two-plane shape, and he also showed a mid-70s changeup. Morris should continue to elevate himself as a pitching prospect as he gets more mound experience, but the arm talent stood out and he is a '26 that we will monitor throughout the season.
