2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Morejon returned last June from his 2021 Tommy John surgery. The southpaw made just three appearances as a multi-inning reliever before experiencing shoulder inflammation that held him out for a little less than a month. Morejon went on to complete a career-high 34 innings across 26 appearances with a 4.24 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.18 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB. He throws mostly fastballs (69% usage) with the occasional slider (13%), curve (13%) and changeup (4%), so it appears the soon-to-be 24-year-old still has some work to do on his secondary offerings. Morejon's role for 2023 has yet to be announced, but he figures to split time between the starting rotation and bullpen in order to manage his workload. He's flashed skills that suggest a breakout could eventually come, but there's still room to grow and health has not yet been on his side. Read Past Outlooks

Blown up by Dodgers
Morejon didn't record an out in an appearance against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk.
ANALYSIS
The Padres put themselves back into the game with a three-run top of the seventh inning that closed their deficit to one run, but Morejon couldn't contain Los Angeles in the bottom of the frame. The southpaw allowed all four batters he faced to reach base, and Trayce Thompson ended his outing by slamming a three-run, pinch-hit homer to left field. Morejon allowed only one run over 14.2 innings in August, but a pair of four-run blowouts in 19 appearances this season has his ERA at 4.50.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
2018
2017
2016
Morejon has spent just over 27 innings at the big-league level over the past two seasons, with all the lumps one would expect from a 21-year-old pitcher in the big leagues. The 28.1 K% and low 5.8 BB% are fun to project, but eight homers allowed in 27.1 innings speak to the room for growth in the talented young arm. He has had injury issues throughout the minors and has yet to work more than 65 innings in any one season, but he works in the upper 90s with his fastball and has a unique knuckle-changeup to go along with his slider. Morejon's fastball has been quite hittable at the big-league level because he has thrown it quite often, using his other pitches mostly when up in the count. The difference between an average and great pitcher is when they have the command and confidence to throw their non-fastballs when behind in the count. Morejon is far from that point.
