He threw his sinker, slider, and changeup more than 70 percent of the time combined. He'll also throw a four-seamer and a curveball.
Morton will be making his 18th career playoff appearance. During the regular season, he started 31 times and amassed a 94 ERA+ and a 3.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He's primarily a curveball and four-seam pitcher, but he'll sprinkle in sinkers, cutters, and the rare changeup.
