It was announced on Saturday that the Phillies acquired RHP Mike Morin from the Twins in exchange for cash considerations.
Morin is certainly nothing to gawk at upon first glance. He’s your average, middle of the ‘pen righty who doesn’t blow guys away with his stuff, (4.4 K/9 in 2019) but he makes up for it with his slim BB/9 rate of 0.8.
In 2019, Morin has a 3.18 ERA over 22.2 IP, a 0.97 WHIP, and sports reverse splits.
While he’s certainly no game changer, Morin is a welcome addition to the Phillies’ short-handed bullpen — especially at such a low asking price.
