With the 94th pick of the 2025 MLB Draft, the Brewers selected Jacob Morrison, a RHP out of Coastal Carolina. Morrison was ranked as the 187th overall prospect by Baseball America and 173rd by MLB.com.

At 6-foot-8 and 245 pounds, Morrison is one of the most physically imposing pitchers in the 2025 college draft class. After flashing mid-90s velocity as a freshman at Coastal Carolina in 2023, he missed the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Morrison returned in 2025 with a standout campaign, earning Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year honors and helping lead the Chanticleers to the College World Series finals. Morrison posted a 2.42 ERA with 104 strikeouts and 23 walks over 107.2 innings.

Morrison’s fastball ranges from 91–95 mph, sitting 93 while touching 96, and plays better than the radar gun suggests due to excellent carry at the top of the zone and steep downhill plane from his exceptionally high release point. He generates elite strike and chase rates with the pitch, despite not being a true power arm. His primary secondary is a mid-80s slider, which has solid depth and is his most reliable swing-and-miss pitch. He also throws a 12-to-6 curveball in the mid-70s, though he struggles to land both breakers for strikes consistently. His low-80s changeup has some fade, but he tends to leave it in hittable spots.

Morrison’s delivery is upright and not especially fluid, but he creates strong extension and repeats it well enough to throw consistent strikes. He’s more control than command at present, but he walked just 5.4% of batters in 2025. Morrison shows the potential for at least average command, with possible growth to plus.

Despite being slightly older for his class—he’ll turn 22 shortly after the draft—Morrison is still a bit raw and has less mileage than many peers due to his missed season. His size, durability, and arsenal give him a clear starter profile, with room to grow.

Ha!  

He actually looks more Magill-ish to me.  If he can throw strikes, that will indeed give a high floor.

This is probably my favorite pick from the draft. His size makes his upside tantalizing and with the CWS run the is a gamer/bulldog in there. With how well college pitchers have failed in our system he has more upside than any college arms we've drafted since Burnes/Woodruff.
