Morrill stood 5'11" and weighed 155 pounds as he began his major league career, and he had been known as a second baseman and catcher.

Once he arrived in the major leagues, Morrill only played 23 games at catcher, all of them in his first season with Boston.

After his retirement as a player, Morrill worked for a Boston sporting goods company, where he was manager and treasurer.
