View Draft Report
Moseley has expected to be Texas Tech's ace this season. Instead he quickly fell out of the rotation and found himself banished to the bullpen thanks to his well below-average control and a few disastrous outings. Moseley has a high 80s/low-90s fastball with lots of sink, and his slider and changeup have flashed average but none of them are consistent enough at this point. He has three pitches to start but unless he shows significant improvement to his control, a power-reliever future seems more likely.

Draft Prospects
-
A former catcher, Moseley didn't become a full-time pitcher until this spring. He's still figuring things out on the mound, but his upside is apparent. He routinely throws 91-93 mph fastballs and has more projection remaining in his 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame. His curveball needs work but shows the makings of becoming at least an average pitch. His changeup, control and command have an even longer way to go, though scouts like the way he attacks hitters. Moseley shows enough potential to warrant consideration in the fifth round, but that might not be high enough to steer him away from his hometown school, Texas Tech. Three years under the tutelage of Red Raiders pitching coach Ray Hayward could polish Moseley into an even earlier pick in the 2016 draft.
