Scouting report
Moran leapt onto the prospect radar during his 2017 Appy League run, during which he struck out 45 hitters in just 24 innings. He's never quite been that dominant again, and his pro career is freckled with bouts of elbow and shoulder injuries, including a 2016 surgery to remove bone chips. When Moran arrived in Arizona for the 2019 Fall League, he looked out of shape and his velocity was down. It rebounded during 2020 instructs where he sat 90-95. The big pitch here, though, is Moran's changeup, which has 12 to 15 mph of velocity separation from his fastball. That pitch could spearhead a good middle-relief profile (40 FV) but until we see him hold his velo in a normal, season-long setting and stay healthy for a while, I'm rounding down a bit.
