Drafted in the 8th round (254th overall) by the Boston Red Sox in 2014 (signed for $152,700).
View Draft Report
Moore has value as a consistent three-year producer in the Southeastern Conference, though he is also a righthanded-hitting college corner outfielder profile without notable secondary skills. So some scouts see him more as a senior sign for next year, while others like his production (.304/.371/.470 in his career) in the top 10 rounds. He has advanced bat-to-balls skills with a career strikeout rate of 9 percent, while walking at an 8 percent clip. The knock against him is that he hasn't hit well on Fridays (against teams' best starters) and doesn't make much in the way of impact contact (.317 BABIP). The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder projects to be an average defender in the outfield corners after catching in the early part of his career.
