For the first time in several years, the Braves were pleased with the progress Moss made. His arm strength finally returned to where it was prior to his Tommy John surgery during the 1998 season. Moss looked strong while pitching 189 innings between Triple-A and the Arizona Fall League. While his fastball is no better than average, he owns a sharp curveball and an above-average changeup that he mixes well. Batters have difficulty timing Moss, but his control has worsened since his surgery. He issued an International League-high 106 walks last year before surrendering 26 in 28 AFL innings. He tends to nibble instead of challenging batters and appears to lose his concentration at times. While there are major league pitchers who don't have as strong a repertoire as Moss does, his opportunities in Atlanta will be limited until he can discover consistency and command.
