Matt Moses

Some scouts say the lefthanded-hitting Moses has the best high school bat in the draft. He has an excellent swing path and smooth line-drive stroke, and should hit for average and power down the road. The biggest question is his position. A shortstop in high school, Moses isn't a consistent enough fielder to play the position as a pro. His mechanics, especially his footwork, aren't sound and he tends to knock down more balls and then rely on his arm strength to make plays. The style profiles fine for third base, though he could become a power-hitting second baseman. Others think his arm strength would work fine in the outfield or behind the plate. At 6 feet and 205 pounds, Moses doesn't have the lean, athletic build scouts look for, and his lower half could thicken, resulting in a more squatty player. Regardless of where he lines up on defense, Moses' bat will play.
