Draft Prospects

School: Orange (Calif.) Lutheran HS Age At Draft: 19.0
Committed: Tennessee
A towering presence at 6-foot-8, 210 pounds, Morse has an extremely tall frame with room to pack on more weight. His fastball is already trending up to reach 96 mph with steep plane from his high three-quarters slot, and the pitch has good carry to get swinging strikes when he elevates. Morse has developed one of the better changeups in the 2026 high school class. It’s a mid-80s offering that plays well off his riding fastball with his dive and fade to project as a plus pitch. Morse leans heavily on his fastball/changeup mix, a testament to the quality of those two pitches but also to the need for him to develop a more reliable breaking ball. He throws an upper-70s curveball that, when it’s at its best, has flashed good depth. But it’s a low-spin pitch often under 2,000 rpm, so scouts will be closely monitoring the progress of his breaking ball as the draft nears. Like an ultra long-levered teenager, Morse has times when he doesn’t sync up his delivery to throw consistent strikes, but for a young pitcher his size, he has good body control and pitchability. -
