Kade Morris

Pitching scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

The likely path is a back-end rotation role built on repertoire depth, strike throwing, and the ability to generate contact with a sinking fastball. Morris has enough velocity and shape variation to remain a starter, but the current command, changeup quality, and major-league contact results leave limited margin for error. If the changeup becomes a dependable weapon to left-handed hitters and he maintains his delivery through six or more innings, a durable No. 4 starter outcome is possible; the more conservative outcome is a No. 5 or swingman profile. Relief would allow the fastball and slider to play up, but his starter-caliber mix gives him a reasonable chance to remain in a rotation.

Projected MLB role: up-down #5 starter
