James Moore
Relief Pitcher | London Mustangs
Pitching Though Moore can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Because he can't overpower hitters, Moore has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Moore has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Moore is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Moore has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The London Mustangs have been known to use Moore as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The London Mustangs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Moore like a hot potato if something better comes along.
