UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP - Kade Morris

 


Kade Morris 

RHP      Nevada 

2022 Nevada stat line - 18-G, 4-ST, 7-5, 4.32, 66.2-IP, 53-K

 

2-9-23 - Peter Flaherty III @PeterGFlaherty

RHP Kade Morris  will be the highest draft pick for Nevada since since Braden Shipley in 2013. FB was up to 97 this summer and SL showed flashes of a potential + pitch. Super projectable with an easy operation, he will be a starter professionally.

 

2-9-23 - Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB

I love Morris’ operation. Lean kid with long limbs and effortless velocity. High waist with real projection. Looks the part. Slider flashes teeth, but to date, he hasn’t been able to consistently miss bats and end battles with hitters. Needs to develop that knockout weapon.

Kade Morris

Nevada

Morris is really built like a big league pitcher. He's got the long, lean frame with the super-quick arm and steady delivery teams like to see. He's been used in a number of roles at Nevada, but most expect him to get a shot to start as he works his way into pro ball. Morris can rush it up to 96 with a four-seam and two-seam fastball, though he's ordinarily in the 92-93 range. His swing-and-miss weapon is a sweeping slider with significant break. He works in a curveball and a fringier changeup, but he's shown feel for each pitch at one point or another, all of which flash at least usable moving forward. Morris has the athletic, prototype delivery teams love, but he just hasn't missed as many bats as you'd expect in his collegiate career with the stuff he possesses. Teams buying into the body and feel for pitching may look at Morris as fun clay to mold into a model arm they see fit in their organization.

42. Kade Morris, RHP, Nevada – Morris entered the transfer portal and actually committed to TCU this summer, but ultimately was forced to reverse course and head back to Nevada. He absolutely has a starter’s look as he uses both a two and four seam fastball that can get up to 97, a change that is a weapon against lefties despite still being rather raw, and a quality slider. He has even shown an occasional curve at times. His delivery has some effort and the arm is very whippy in a bit of an inconsistent 3/4 arm slot, so there is definitely some reliever risk with Morris.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

The lefty bat shows a really high-level ability to find barrels through the middle of the yard; batting a career .405 through 200 at-bats in perfect game events. He sets up with an open stance that works into a hearty load. There’s violence through the zone with definite power projection. He adds plenty of value on the moun...
