Uncommitted. Moore came out firing in his outing for the Georgia Jackets. Easily sitting in the mid to upper 80’s with his FB and working it up to 89 mph a couple times. Elevated the fastball easily and worked the offspeed pitches off of it. He does not completely sell out for his velocity and he uses his strong lower half well. Already a solid frame at 6’0” 195 lbs, but will continue to grow and get stronger, which will bring along more velocity and power. Effortless and repeatable mechanics with his high power stuff makes Moore a very exciting follow.
