There is no way to sugarcoat it, Charlie Morton did not have the results the Atlanta Braves and their fans were hoping for in 2022. He did pitch in the most games of anyone in the Braves’ rotation, so he did have that going for him. However, he only averaged 5.55 innings pitched per start.
To be fair, Morton was coming off of a major leg injury, which can’t be discounted. Now that the Atlanta Braves Front Office has signed him through the 2023 season (with a team option for 2024), we have to hope that he can bounce back to look more like the 2021 version of himself that we all grew to love.
