    Moran's speed and instincts make him the best baserunner and top defensive outfielder in the Southeastern Conference. To be an effective major leaguer, he'll have to refine his approach at the plate. While he has good pop for a 5-foot-11, 175-pounder, Moran has to play more of a little man's game. He needs to learn to get on base more often via the bunt and the walk. He had drawn just nine walks in each of the last two seasons, minimizing his basestealing chances. His arm is slightly below average but more than playable for center field.
