The 2020 Charlie Morton. Not Quite the All-Star he was.

In his last three season, two with the Astros, one with the Tampa Bay Rays, Charlie Morton has been championship quality and All Star quality. Of course, he was the winning pitcher in the Game 7 , 2017 ALCS, and the winning pitcher in the Game 7 WS. He was a 2018 All Star.

He compiled impressive regular season numbers in those three years: a 3.24 ERA, 3.41 xFIP, and an almost 11 strikeouts per nine innings in over 508 innings pitched. In 2017 his exit velocity of 85.4 mph was in the top 10% of all MLB.
