John Cackowski
Director of Scouting

In the last three years Prep Baseball Report Colorado has had the opportunity to cover amateur baseball like no other organization has ever been able to do before in the state of Colorado. Between scouting numerous games this spring, summer, and fall, and recently having a great opportunity to see more 2020 grads at our premier events such as the Underclass Invitational in January, and Top Prospect Games in August, along with multiple tournaments in summer and fall PBR hosts. These rankings will for sure grow and change before the end of next spring. Our next 2020 rankings will be posted after our Underclass Invitational in January. Our list grows from 40 to 100 players.

Bats left, throws right. Closer to 5-foot-10, but everything is super effortless, and he repeats it in an advanced manner given his age. Arm is quick, and he painted his fastball from side to side down in the zone. Fastball sits 85-86, has touched 88 and it looks like he is just flipping it in. Stays linear. Throws a straight changeup with fastball arm speed for strikes and a slurve that took solid shape, but is still developing. Change is 74-75 mph. Curveball comes in at 70-72 with 10/4 shape. Solid prospect.

Moss has come on strong this summer and fall. Last year played football. Name is getting out there now. Strong, uphill path. Leg kick and down and back hand load sync up very nicely as he gets into a strong hitting position. Looks like a natural hitter who will only continue to improve. Good baserunner. Player to follow.
