Matthew Moore? Great Numbers!!!
Moore looks solid to me and I'm looking for all the info I can. Can anybody add to this?
Sleeper Potential - Matthew Moore, SP, TB
In trying to find information on Matthew Moore after seeing his gaudy minor league stat line, I found the going a little tough. After not making Baseball America's top 30 prospects, or John Sickels top 20, Moore recently popped up on a Baseball America rookie league blog touting a solid outing so I decided to take a look. On paper, Moore's numbers are quite impressive;
Age 18 - 2.66 ERA, .160 BAA, 29/16 K/BB in 20 1/3 IP @ Rk
Age 19 - 2.03 ERA, .163 BAA, 64/16 K/BB in 44 1/3 IP @ Rk
Additionally, I found these prospect nuggets about Moore;
- 8th round pick by TB in the 2007 MLB draft
- Former N.M. 4A player of the year
- Scout quoted as saying Moore possesses an "overpowering" fastball
- Clocked as high as 94 MPH in high school
- By all accounts, his secondary offerings need work
- Brother pitches or pitched at the University of New Mexico
- Comes from a military family
With Tampa Bay hitting on so many pitching prospects right now, it's hard to ignore a 6'2" 205 lb. southpaw hitting 94 on the gun. I wonder just how far behind his secondary pitches remain as a 2nd year in rookie ball after having initial success in 2007.

He should get a shot in Hud Valley this year, if he has some good outings there, i could see him sneaking in a top 25 prospect list.

The minor league season is almost over
He’s going to move to Hudson Valley next year.
I’ve said it before, Moore is my favorite low level sleeper propsect. Good to more people taking notice.

Less would have been Moore there.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
