Velocity good this spring Morton sat 93-95 mph with his fastball during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "In spring training last year, I don't know if...

Impact The veteran right-hander didn't have his typical fastball velocity until September last year, so it's very encouraging to see that he should head into Opening Day already firing his usual heat. Morton built up to 4.1 innings Wednesday, and he has a 0.00 ERA and 7:2 K:BB through 7.1 frames this spring.

Sharp in spring debut Morton struck out three and walked one over three scoreless innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

Morton stumbled to a 4.74 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in an abbreviated 2020 campaign with some serious regression in his strikeout rate (23.0 percent, after a career-high 30.4 percent in 2019), but Atlanta is counting on him to rebound to something closer to his 3.45 FIP and shore up the middle of the team's rotation after signing him to a one-year deal this offseason.
