"Morse was a mid-round pick from a Texas JUCO in 2024, and the low-slot lefty had an uneven debut season. This spring, though, he's looked sharp and has gotten a lot of work in big league games, where he's struck out seven in 3.2 innings. In both stadium and backfield settings, he's been sitting 93-95 with two east-west breaking balls."
"The Dodgers have been a revolving door for quality pitchers under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, priding themselves on quality pitching depth from top to bottom. Seemingly, the Dodgers have done it again, finding a mid-round 2024 draft pick that has impressed baseball experts."
Cody Morse, a mid-round 2024 draft pick from a Texas JUCO, represents another successful prospect evaluation by the Dodgers organization. During his rookie professional season at Single-A, Morse posted a 4.33 ERA across 52 innings with 57 strikeouts but also 27 walks. His Spring Training performance has been notably superior, striking out seven batters in 3.2 innings while sitting 93-95 mph with two effective breaking balls. The left-handed pitcher has demonstrated reliable command and the ability to generate whiffs with his fastball. Though not ranked in MLB Pipeline's top 30 prospects, Morse made the Dodgers' Spring Breakout roster, reflecting the organization's continued success in identifying undervalued pitching talent.
