Description

Colby Morris is a pitcher in the New York Mets Organization. He is currently assigned to the Brooklyn Cyclones, the High-A-Affiliate of the New York Mets. Morris played college baseball for Middlebury College. Morris, 23, played four seasons of varsity ball at Branson, pitching against a Jared Goff-led Marin Catholic squad as a freshman. He boasted a 20-6 record over his final two seasons with the Bulls, helping Branson capture the North Coast Section Division V championship as a senior in 2015.

Morris got one step closer to realizing that goal in January 2021, signing a minor league contract with the New York Mets organization. Less than two years after his graduation, Morris had catapulted himself from the NESCAC to the minor leagues, becoming the first Panther to sign with an MLB organization since Michael Joseph ’13 (Baltimore Orioles, minor league). Only two Panthers have ever played MLB baseball at its highest level, the most recent being Harry Hulihan in 1922.

It’s an achievement that follows a distinguished collegiate career punctuated by countless accolades. The 2018 NESCAC Pitcher of the Year has the most career wins (18), innings pitched (256) and career starts (39) in Middlebury College history and ranks second all-time in strikeouts (174). The achievement also follows a period of less glamorous work in the lower divisions, including time with the Trois-Rivieres Aigles (Canadian-American Association) and the Milwaukee Milkmen (American Association). During his time in the minor leagues, Morris struggled to find consistent minutes or stability, but his aspirations didn’t falter.

Morris also spent time with Driveline, a player development organization in Washington that uses advanced metrics to maximize their players’ potential. His tangible improvement, driven by minor league experience and technical work with Driveline, positioned Morris as a candidate for Major League clubs. And MLB organizations bit, with the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers both giving Morris a shot. But his potential truly glowed when he trialed with the New York Mets, who eventually offered Morris a minor league deal.

When asked about Morris’ accomplishment, Mike Leonard, the head baseball coach at Middlebury, didn’t seem surprised. Leonard explained that Morris set the standard for both a Middlebury student-athlete and a Middlebury baseball player, undergirded by an incessant work ethic. At Middlebury, Morris helped spin an 11–23 record during his rookie year into two NESCAC Championship appearances in 2017 and 2019.

In 2021, Morris split time between with the St Lucie Mets and Brooklyn Cyclones. In 4 games with St Lucie, he registered a hold and a save and registered a 1.80 ERA. Morris played 27 games with the Cyclones and struck out 57 Hitters in 50 innings.

The featured size 12.5 white and silver Nike Alpha Huarache Baseball Cleats were game worn by Colby Morris in 2021 as a member of the Brooklyn Cyclones. The Brooklyn Cyclones are a Minor League Baseball team of the High-A East and the High-A affiliate of the New York Mets. They are based in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, and play at Maimonides Park, just off the Coney Island Boardwalk. Morris played in 27 games with Brooklyn in 2021 and went 2-1 with a 4.11 ERA. Morris has signed the Cleats and added “Game Worn LGM!” in black. (Lets Go Mets!) The Cleats show light use. Sweet Pair of Cleats for a New York Mets Fan!!!
