Overview
At 6’7”, Moody is a projectable prep pitcher who’s already reached 96 mph with his fastball. He shown the ability to spin a breaking ball, although the pitch needs to improve. He’s also a good athlete and played quarterback in high school before deciding to stick solely to baseball. Baseball America ranked Moody as the 354th best prospect in the draft. He has a commitment to Arkansas and obviously will require an above-slot bonus to sign.
