Cody Morris

Morris had a breakout 2021 season, making it up to Triple-A Columbus, where he posted a 2.70 ERA in 36 2/3 innings, striking out 52 and walking 12. Though he didn’t pitch until July after recovering from a shoulder injury, all Morris did was put up a 2.16 FIP, which led all minor-league pitchers with at least 60 innings.

Morris has the pitch arsenal and stuff that could make him a rotation mainstay in the future, though with the current loaded construction of the Guardians pitching staff, it’s possible he could start his major-league career in the bullpen.
