Luis Morales strikes out two in Futures Game

Related Topics: Luis Morales, Noah Schultz

The lone Oakland Athletics representative in this game, Luis Morales got the ball in the fifth inning and came out firing. Morales had a bit of trouble settling in with his command, but oh boy did his stuff jump off the page. Morales had two strikeouts, and he tied Teodo with the most swing-and-misses by a pitcher from the game at five, doing so on two fewer swings. Morales topped out with his fastball at 99.1 mph, and all of his pitches showed fantastic movement. This was our first chance to get statcast data on Morales and he did not disappoint.
