This could probably be an article all on its own, but the Guardians can’t hide Eli Morgan in the bullpen much longer. Tonight he and his ludicrous changeup held down two innings in the Guardians’ 4-0 win over the Royals.
Morgan wasn’t the only standout pitcher, though. Rookie Konnor Pilkington turned in career highs in innings (5.0) and strikeouts (8) in today’s win. But enough about Konnor, LOOK AT THIS CHANGEUP.
This is the exact reason Morgan rose through the minors on his way to the big league club despite not being a hulking flamethrower on the mound.
