Riley Moran, Norco High (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: RHP/RHP RHP with starter upside. Shows good feel for his pitch mix, with all three offerings having swing and miss potential.
Body: 6-3, 185-pounds. Athletic, lean frame with strong lower half.
Delivery: Starts with a higher hand set that quickly drops to belt level before syncing with the front leg. Utilizes a very high leg kick and employs a drop/drive movement down the mound with a lengthy stride. Activates the lower half effectively, creating strong hip–shoulder separation. Maintains direction well and shows good feel for blocking with the plant leg.
Arm Action: RH. Delivers with a full circle arm path out of the glove and a tighter overall arm action that creates solid depth at foot strike. Works from a consistent 3/4 release, showing a fluid motion that accelerates through the progression. Finishes with noticeable recoil upon release.
FB: High spin FB that shows good life through the top of the zone and can generate swing and miss. Displays enough arm-side run to work the outer third to RHH for called strikes and run in on their hands for whiffs. Commands well throughout the zone.
SL: Tight, sharp SL that displays some late downward depth. Plays well off the FB plane, generating chase below the zone. Used as an out pitch late in counts to RHH.
CH: High spin CH with heavy arm-side fade. Works well off the FB tunnel down in the zone. Developing/deceptive weapon against LHH.

Moran has been excellent across several looks at various Prep Baseball California events and with each subsequent viewing the Inland Empire righthander just continues to get better. Moran has found a consistent low 3/4s arm slot for his delivery and shows off strong presesnt arm speed which generates an intriguing pitch mix. Moran is an athletic mover on the mound who controls his body well while flashing solid feel for the strike zone and over his five batter look notched multiple strikeouts while allowing soft contact in the air and one groundball which would have gone for a single. Moran topped out at 89.7 MPH while living at 87.5 - 89.2 MPH over his outing on a FB which has riding life above the barrel (picked up consistent whiff at the top of the zone) showing spin rates above 2400 RPMs and up to 16.2" of IVB while throwing the pitch for a strike nearly 70% of the time on the day. His SLD continues to trend up reaching 78.5 MPH on the offering while living at 76.4-78.2 MPH with a sharp tight shape that has up to -6.1" of glove side action and spin rates above 2300 RPMs. His CHG is his primary secondry and shows arm side life with 15.4" of arm side fade on the pitch coming in between 79.2-79.9 MPH on the pitch while getting solid vertical depth off the shape of of his FB. Moran's mixture of continually upward trending pitch quality, athleticism in his opertion and still room to project more strength on his frame makes him an intriguing name to follow in the 2026 class for college programs.
