Morton tossed three scoreless innings Wednesday, striking out four and walking one without allowing a hit to the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Morton is off to an impressive start this spring, tossing five scoreless innings through two starts. His fastball once again flashed elevated velocity, sitting between 94 and 97 mph. He's averaged between 91 and 93 mph the last few years, but experienced an uptick in 2016 before his season ended early due to a hamstring injury. He acknowledged the effectiveness that added velocity can have, but Morton was more pleased with the location of his curveball and movement of his sinker.
