Phillies 2017 Season Preview: Starting (Relief?) Pitcher Adam Morgan

Adam Morgan‘s time in a Phillies uniform has not gone very well. The 27-year old has a 5.37 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 197.2 innings over the last two seasons. His appearances have mostly come when other pitchers fell out of the rotation due to injury.

2016 was especially rough for Morgan, as he finished the year with just 0.6 fWAR despite pitching 113.1 innings. He gave up home runs on 16.3% of the fly balls he allowed, which is beyond awful according to Fangraphs.

This spring training Morgan knows he has to show some signs of life if he wants to stay a major-leaguer.
