A.J. Morris began his senior season with a bang, winning all of his first 11 starts and showing no signs of letting up. The 6-foot-2 righty features a low-90s fastball that sets up a pair of solid offspeed offerings: a sharp breaking ball and changeup. Improved control and more strikeouts have helped to earn Morris well-deserved attention, including being named the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Year. The Texas native is expected to be selected in the second or third round of the Draft.
