School: Tennessee

BA Grade: 50/High
Tools: Hit: 50. Power: 55. Run: 50. Field: 45. Arm: 45.
Moore has been a model of consistency for Tennessee in his three-year career. A 6-foot-1, 216-pound righthanded hitter and infielder, Moore has hit over .300 with double-digit home runs in all three seasons for the Volunteers, culminating in a breakout 2024 campaign in which he slashed .376/.453/.796 with 32 home runs heading into the College World Series. Moore was a power-over-hit offensive player with big strikeout questions during his first two seasons, but in 2024 he cut his strikeout rate from around 25% to just 15%, and his overall contact rate jumped from a poor 65% mark to an impressive 77%. He owes that improvement to a much better performance against secondary pitchers, which gave him issues in his first two seasons. Moore is a broad-shouldered hitter with impressive bat speed who has used the entire field for his home run production. While he doesn’t have much physical projection remaining, he should have more than enough raw power to get to average or better home run totals if his newfound contact ability holds up. Moore has spent time all over the infield and outfield with Tennessee and started the 2024 season at shortstop before sliding over to second base fairly quickly. His arm has been an issue in the past and is light for the left side of the infield, but it should play at the keystone, where he could be a fair defender. Moore is a solid-average runner underway.
