\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a video of prospect Matt Moore, a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays.\u00a0 As you can plainly see, Moore is devastating and would be the top pitching prospect in almost any other organization.\u00a0 Moore is of particular interest to me due to his New Mexican roots.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moore hails from Moriarty, the same community Kyle Blanks of the Padres grew up.\u00a0 They tend to produce excellent baseball players in Moriarty despite their small size and relative isolation.\u00a0 Moore had an older cousin who graduated the same year that I did and spent a large percentage of his collegiate career as the second-best lefty in the University of New Mexico rotation behind the legendary Danny Ray Herrera.<\/p>\n

Matt projects as a #2 starter in the Major Leagues(at worst) and has excellent tools.\u00a0 He led the Minors in strikeouts and misses bats at a frenzied pace. Control issues exist, but the arm speed and handedness make for a future ace.\u00a0 Enjoy this comically accurate video of what makes Moore a special talent and a New Mexican we can be proud to root for.
