BIOGRAPHY
Brandon Morrow was born July 26, 1984, in Santa Rosa, California. He is a pitcher in the MLB.
In his first professional season in 2006, he split time between Arizona League Mariners appearing in seven games and Single-A Inland Empire 66ers appearing in one game of the California League. He posted an 0–2 record overall with a 2.25 ERA in 16 innings striking out 17 batters and starting five games. He pitched three hitless innings for Inland Empire during his brief time there.
Morrow went 72⁄3 no-hit innings in his first major league start and was 4 outs away from being just the second player to throw a no-hitter in their MLB starting debut only to see pinch hitter Wilson Betemit end his bid. The Mariners went on to win the game 3–1, giving Morrow his first win as a starter.
On January 25, 2017, Morrow signed a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that included an invitation to major league spring training. He did not make the major league team and was assigned to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers to begin the season. Morrow was called up by the Dodgers on May 29, due to a clause in his contract that would have forced the Dodgers to waive him if he wasn't called up. By the end of the season, Morrow had settled into a role as the Dodgers' setup man. In 45 appearances out of the Dodgers bullpen, he was 6–0 with a 2.06 ERA with 50 strikeouts and two saves.
Morrow allowed one run in 32⁄3 innings in the 2017 NLDS, zero runs in 42⁄3 innings in the 2017 NLCS, and five runs in 51⁄3 innings in the 2017 World Series. He was only the second person in history to pitch in all seven games of the World Series.
