Willie Morrison  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago Windbags

Pitching
Morrison also throws a screwball. And let me tell you, it's not a bad one at that. Morrison can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Morrison also has a decent changeup. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.

Defense & Hitting
Morrison's move to first base is average. 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. Interesting sidenote, The Chicago Windbags have been known to use Morrison as a pinch-runner on occasion.
