Scouting Report / Bio: Morillo's raw power has never been questioned. He sits in the high nineties throughout his starts, but Juan has struggled to consistently throw strikes or show a quality slider or change. Immediate future may be in the pen, but Morillo has the type of relaxed mechanics and easy arm motion to throw 200+ innings in the pros. If he can harness both his control and command, he has the type of arm to throw 70+ innings a year at the back of the bullpen.
Future Outlook: Middle reliever most likely, with outside shot as a closer or number two starter.
