Morris, who is out of options, is working with a new pitch -- a two-seam fastball -- in spring training. "This pitch just allows me to not have to be so fine in the zone," Morris told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "It's not about hitting corners, just more about just getting down in the zone, and let the pitch do what it does."
Analysis:
Morris served mostly as a middle reliever in his first full major-league campaign, compiling a 3.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and seven holds. The back end of Pittsburgh's bullpen returns intact, making it likely Morris works in a similar fashion in 2014.
