Andrew Moore – RHP

The 21-year-old right-hander is the Mariners 10th best prospect, and he lived up to the billing in his brief action this spring in Peoria. Andrew Moore pitched in one game this spring, allowing 1 unearned run on 3 hits across 2 innings of work. He struck out 1 and did not issue any free passes.

Originally selected in the second round of the 2015 draft, Moore was assigned to the Everett AquaSox of the Northwest League last summer. He dominated the competition, going 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA across 14 appearances. Moore tallied 43 strikeouts and limited the opposition to 1.000 walks/hits per inning. Most impressive of all was the fact that he issued just 2 free passes in 39 innings of work.

The Oregon State alum is expected to move quickly through the Mariners system, and could debut in Seattle as early as 2017. Moore should begin the 2016 season with the Clinton LumberKings or the Bakersfield Blaze.
