For the Cleveland Guardians, the 2024 season was all about the bullpen. Topping the leaderboards in almost every statistic, Cleveland’s relievers were one of the main reasons the team made it all the way to the ALCS. From the usual suspects like Emmanuel Clase to the up-and-comers like Cade Smith, every pitcher in the Cleveland bullpen did his part to round out a successful season. One of these relievers, Eli Morgan, was severely underrated all season but continually showed that he has the stuff.
A starter in his 2021 rookie season, Morgan was moved to the bullpen in 2022 as a middle reliever and has stayed there ever since.
