Morejon Thriving in High-Leverage Role for Padres
The Padres reliever has been leaned on heavily in extra innings, and he's delivering — three straight effective outings signal growing trust from the coaching staff.
Adrian Morejon pitched two high-stress extra-innings frames the previous night, stranding the automatic runner twice. The Padres returned to him the following night for a third straight appearance. He retired all three batters he faced on just six pitches. The performance reinforces his role as a trusted high-leverage option in San Diego's bullpen.
