Professional career edit
Chicago White Sox edit
Moore was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 14th round, 410th overall, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[2] Moore played in 22 games during his inaugural campaign with the White Sox organization, splitting time between the rookie-level Arizona League White Sox and Great Falls Voyagers.
He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In 2021, Moore pitched in 37 games split between the Single-A Kannapolis Intimidators and the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, logging a cumulative 2–2 record and 4.20 ERA with 59 strikeouts and 9 saves in 40.2 innings pitched.
Philadelphia Phillies edit
On March 29, 2022, Moore was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Adam Haseley.[4][5] Moore spent the 2022 season with the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils, registering a 4–5 record and 4.35 ERA with 71 strikeouts in 49.2 innings of work. He was assigned to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs to begin the 2023 season.[6]
On April 4, 2023, Moore was selected to the 40-man roster and was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[7][8]
