We really haven’t burned enough virtual ink talking about how great Houston Astros Starting Pitcher Charlie Morton has been this season.
And so, a mere hour before his scheduled start in Game 4 of the American League Division Series versus Rick Porcello and the Boston Red Sox, here are some quick factoids for your digestion.
- The Astros signed Morton as a free agent to a $14M 2-year contract prior to the 2017 season, after having only pitched 17 innings for the Phillies in 2016.
- During those 17 innings, Morton showed an increased strikeout rate and lower FIP than at any point of his career.
