The Book on Bryan Morris

Bryan Morris
Born 3/28/1987
RHP, PIT
The 26th overall selection in the 2006 draft, Pirate righthander Avery (Bryan) Morris was acquired by the Pirates as part of the multi-team deal that moved Jason Bay. He spent all of 2007 recovering from TJ surgery, much of 2008 recovering from toe surgery, and most of 2009 just re-finding his delivery. But he remains one of Pittsburgh's better long-term pitching prospects. Morris has a high-90's fastball and a plus curve, and frustrates batters with an unorthodox delivery. While his name might have been forgotten by many, he should be moving up the ranks again now that he's healthy, two full years after receiving his fancy new elbow.
