Moreno signed for $188,000 as one of the youngest international signings in 2012. He is the epitome of a raw, toolsy outfielder with impact potential and four current tools, but his hit tool and approach will need to improve significantly to reach his impact ceiling. Moreno saw time in center and right field but has the plus speed to profile in the former. He offers a plus arm that is fluid and accurate. His athleticism and defensive instincts give him the potential to be an above-average defender. Moreno shows plus raw power in batting practice, though he will have to make more contact. His swing has length from a deep load and his plate discipline is severely lacking, for he often chases well out of the zone. He had the lowest walk rate in the Appy League (1.5 percent) along with the worst strikeout-to-walk ratio (16.8) by a wide margin, putting significant pressure on his batted ball and power profiles. Moreno's youth and upside carry his prospect status.
