The Texas Rangers have advanced their No. 18 overall prospect, Moore, to Double-A Frisco. The promotion follows a productive campaign in Advanced A, where the California native hit ten home runs and posted a .300 batting average with a .929 OPS. All but six of his minor league home runs occurred in 2026, highlighting his rapid power development.
Moore holds a distinct organizational advantage as the only catcher ranked within the Rangers' top 30 prospects. While his offensive metrics are strong, his defensive profile presents a mixed scouting report. He receives a 45 grade for both his arm strength and fielding ability, but his running is rated at a 30, which has lowered his overall prospect standing. He has recorded eight stolen bases in his career, though none have come this season.
The organization appears patient with Moore's timeline, projecting an estimated major league arrival in 2028. This promotion offers him the opportunity to refine his defensive skills while continuing to demonstrate his power at the plate. Further details regarding his specific role or immediate schedule in Frisco are not yet clear.
