Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55

A Connecticut prep school product, Moore posted a 1.062 OPS as a semiregular at Tennessee as a freshman and encored with a 1.046 OPS next spring. He has taken his production to a higher level this spring, leading NCAA Division I with 111 hits, ranking third with 34 homers (a school record) and setting another Volunteers mark with 61 career dingers. He hit for the cycle in Tennessee's College World Series opener and led off the clincher with a home run en route to the program's first national championship.

Solidly built at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, Moore looks to do damage with an aggressive approach. His mindset, bat speed and strength give him power that plays to all fields and 25-30 homer potential, and he works deep counts in search of pitches to drive and draws a healthy amount of walks. His right-handed swing can get overly long and he still chases too many pitches out of the zone, but he's making more consistent contact in 2024.

Though Moore's big hacks lead to below-average run times out of the batter's box, he can show solid speed once he gets going and looks to steal and take extra bases. He can make some fine plays in the middle infield but also can botch some routine ones and needs more defensive consistency. He played briefly at shortstop this year but his average arm strength means he's probably more of a second baseman, and it's possible that he could wind up in center field.

He took his production to a higher level this year, leading NCAA Division I with 111 hits, ranking third with 34 homers (a school record) and setting another Volunteers mark with 61 career dingers. He hit for the cycle in Tennessee's Men's College World Series opener and led off the clincher with a home run en route to the program's first national championship. The Angels took him No. 8 overall and signed him with a below-slot bonus of $5 million, and as has been the organizational tendency lately, pushed him quickly to Double-A during his summer pro debut.
