Charlie Morton, a 24-year-old right hander pitching for the AAA Richmond Braves, won his third game of the season on Sunday. In six innings, he gave up six hits, three earned runs, and he struck out three. His overall ERA is 2.00 and his walk/hit ratio is an amazing .98 in Richmond. Not too bad.

The Braves drafted the kid in the 3rd round of the 2002 draft. Right now, he has the most upside of any starting pitcher in the Braves farm teams. He is on the fringe of starting for Atlanta this year.

You can check here for an interview with Morton earlier this year.

Here is another post about Morton from his unofficial lobbyist.

Surely with John Smoltz extending his stay on the disabled list, Charlie Morton’s chances of reaching the big leagues look better.
