The Chicago Cubs signed Brandon Morrow to a two-year deal worth $21 million with a third-year team option for 2020. At 33, this is Morrow’s first closing role, and he has flourished.
So far in ten appearances, Morrow is a perfect six-for-six in save opportunities. He has pitched nine innings, given up six hits, walked three, and struck out nine. Yet to give up a run, Morrow’s FIP is just 2.55 and a BABIP of .286. Morrow has answered any questions about his ability to close.
Finding his stride
Last season he found something with the Dodgers.
