Baltimore Orioles Right Hander looked impressive at the beginning of the spring training

The Baltimore Orioles gave Charlie Morton his second start of spring during a Grapefruit League game against the Boston Red Sox in the Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fl. Morton is working hard to secure a place in the middle of the rotation of the Orioles.

In his first start, he allowed two goals in a goalless Inning and he wanted to build on this performance when approaching at the end of March.

Morton did not waste any time in his second excursion. He threw up aggressively and used his fast ball with two sea emotions to record two soft outs in just two parking spaces. Both parking spaces registered in the mid -nineties and showed an excellent movement, so that he could avoid solid contacts in all six of him.

Morton's last line for the game was impressive: he threw two goalless innings, allowed a floor ball goal and gave a walk on 22 parking spaces, of which 13 strikes were. He also mixed a sharp curve ball with a good vertical break. His approach was uncomplicated and praised both pitches effectively, set up aggressively and changed speeds.

At the age of 41, some questions can ask how much Morton left in the tank. However, he appeared like a 31-year-old starter and set up quickly and enforced. When the second inner progressed, he began to pull his fastball onto the glove side, but he made a quick adjustment and navigated effortlessly through the inning.

This spring Morton has to show everything that he is ready. Its speed lasts strong and its parking spaces look alive, which indicates that it will stroke the rotation without any problems.

In order to offer Morton's performance a context in the spring, manager Brandon Hyde told a short story during an in-game interview with ESPN and said: “I met Charlie in the Southern League while I managed Carolina in 2007.”

For the perspective, the President of the United States was George W. Bush.

Morton was a model of consistency after he had taken 30 or more starts with the Atlanta Braves in the last four seasons. His four -year average values ​​are 11.25 victories, an ERA of 3.87 and 192.75 Strikeouts over 171.25 Innerings. This consistency is exactly what the orioles need to anchor your pitching staff.

There is little doubt that the offensive of the Baltimores will be strong this season. It is also expected that the Bullpen performs well, especially when Felix Bautista achieves a successful return. Ultimately, the success of the team depends on how far this rotation can lead you.
