Career

Morriss made his Claxton Shield debut in 2008 for the Queensland Rams. He continued to pitch for the Rams until the formation of the Australian Baseball League in 2010. Named as pitching captain for the Bandits, he made his debut on opening night against the Perth Heat where he pitched two hitless innings to record the save. Throughout the season, he was used intermittently as starting pitcher, long reliever, setup pitcher and closer going 2–1 and 2 saves with a 5.63 ERA. Morriss fared much better at home with a 2.37 ERA, with his ERA inflated by extremely hitter-friendly ballparks such as the Melbourne Showgrounds.[1]

Morriss works full-time at his own carpentry business. His father Greg is also a scout for the Houston Astros.[2]

gollark: How would *you* do it?
gollark: Well, except the Python ones; everyone knows Python can't `write` and you have to construct an ELF binary to call out to to do that instead.
gollark: And my last ones.
gollark: Even *I* know that the right way to do it would be to write the data to a file, use a hexdump program on the file, pipe that to the `printf` command or something to convert that to decimal, and then redirect the output of *that* to a file which you then memory-map and call `write` on.
gollark: I am glad we are in agreement.
