Mariners Promote Michael Morales To Double-A
5 months agoThe Seattle Mariners have promoted starting pitcher prospect Michael Morales to Double-A Arkansas. The former third-round draft pick was having a strong season at High-A, posting a 9-1 record with a 2.36 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a 15.9% K-BB% in 15 starts. It's a far cry from the 5.91 and 4.53 ERA he recorded in 2022 and 2023. He's also dropped his HR/9 from 1.05 in 2022 to 0.62 in 2023, down to 0.21 in 2024 (two HR in 84 IP). While his K/9 has dropped to 8.57 this season from a high of 9.41 in 2023, it has garnered better results, and now the 21-year-old will get a shot against Double-A competition. MLB.com has an ETA of 2025 for the righty, but dynasty managers will want to see positive results at this next level before putting on any watch lists.
