Power RHP With ACC-Bat-Missing Upside
Morningstar is a 6-foot-4, 230-pound right-hander whose value is tied to strikeout stuff and a starter’s workload, not just raw ERA line-items: he punched out 93 hitters in 79 innings for Wake Forest in 2025, held opponents to a .235 average, and earned USA Baseball Collegiate National Team camp recognition after a breakout sophomore season[4][14][5]. He also showed he can dominate at his best, with a career-high 11-strikeout gem against Stanford in 2026[12][13]. The fit question is health and consistency, since reports note mild injury/command issues and a rough 2026 stretch, but the ceiling is real for teams needing a power arm with swing-and-miss traits[16][15].
