Adrian Morejon is part of the Padres' formidable pitching staff, contributing to their ranking as the second-highest team in the league for pitches thrown at 97 mph or above. His ability to throw extreme velocity could provide a significant advantage against the Dodgers, who have struggled against high-velocity pitches. Morejon, along with other flamethrowers on the Padres, may play a crucial role in late-game situations, whether to preserve a lead or manage a deficit.
