Scouting report
High school catching is notoriously risky; from the last decade or so, only Austin Hedges has come from the prep catching ranks and seized an everyday job. The beating catchers take on their way to the big leagues often dilutes their offensive ability or slows their progress, but Moller has the requisite athleticism and arm strength to catch, and he's also one of the more well-rounded high school hitters in the class, regardless of position. He has incredible hitting hands, which generate a combo of contact (because he's so short to the ball) and impact with lift. His offensive footwork is often ill-timed, but that's a minor, correctable blemish on an otherwise exciting all-around profile.
