Charlie Morton was once again a key member of the Atlanta Braves' rotation, making at least 30 starts for the club for the third straight season. He bounced back from a rough 2022, and while he didn't post eye-popping numbers, he was a more than adequate option on a team that weathered a bunch of pitching injuries and often sorely needed rotation depth.
Some fans that don't follow transaction history very closely may not know that Charlie Morton was actually drafted by the Braves way back in 2002, out of Joel Barlow High School, and made his MLB for the Braves on June 14th, 2008. Morton went on to have a rookie season that he probably would like to forget, starting fifteen of his sixteen appearances in which he ended the season with a 145 ERA-, 120 FIP-, 114 xFIP-, and 0.0 fWAR despite 74 2â 3 innings of work.
