View Draft Report

Morones is a 6-foot, 190-pound righthander who just finished his junior season with Cal State Fullerton but is old for his class and will already be 23 on draft day. He posted a 5.18 ERA over 33 innings this spring, with a 30.2% strikeout rate and 10.1% walk rate, but also pitched in the MLB Draft League after the season and managed a 17:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first 12 innings. Morones has unique release traits that could allow his 90-95 mph fastball play up thanks to its flat approach angle, and the pitch had above-average miss rates this spring. He also throws a cutter in the upper 80s, a curveball in the upper 70s and an occasional slider in the low 80s.
