Mercer Commit. 6-foot-2, 200 pounds. Not only is this one of the most versatile, well rounded players in his class, but moon is a true power bat who checks all the boxes as a hitter. Although there is some swing & miss, what power hitter doesn’t have that? The important thing is he’s already proven himself to us as a hitter at Future Games 2022. Here, Moon faced nearly a dozen upper 80’s low 90’s arms and took 4-5 of them to the deepest parts of the field with ridiculous loft. His ability to get on plane early with pitches separates him in the department of power production. His swing is extremely simplified and works in one fluid motion, which is exactly what you look for in high level hitters. KJ repeats launch position extremely well, has an innate feel for how the hips work in the swing, and how to separate. The head is very quiet, a mark you typically only see in a small percentage of each class. This is a bat with just as much power to right center as he has to the pull side. To be built like a linebacker and play SS for the Titans, shows truly how athletic he is. When you know Moon like we do, you know he’s got just as much potential on the mound. His air bending 76-78 CB flashed wipeout depth and regularly freezes RHH. His 86-88 FB has considerable velo potential as he’s farm from physically mature and can spin a hard breaking ball, projecting on velo a bit.
Moon has a projectable 6-foot, 180-pound frame with broad shoulders. He creates whippy barrel speed, 26.3 max hand speed, 76.7 max bat speed, lifts the ball to the pull-side.
