Bishop Moore, 2028, RHP, Beech Grove: The upside in Moore is clear as he stands at 6-foot-7, 215-pounds and he is as athletic as a sophomore can be for that size. While the control was fringy at best in my look, the temps were frigid and he did a great job of working around traffic allowing zero earned despite five walks in three innings. He is working in-line better this spring than what I saw last year, though still lands soft on the front leg and tends to spin around it at times leading to misses. He pitched at 85-87 mostly in my look; grabbed 89 once, 88 a handful of times, and ticked down to more of an 83-86 look from the stretch. The fastball is heavy and he got S/Ms with it, especially when commanded at the top of the zone. He landed a 73-76 CB that played with big depth at times, though the control was inconsistent, and the same could be said for his 73-75 change. The change is a serviceable third and flashed better at times. With the potential that the stuff has, along with the projection in the frame, I expect Bishop to be a coveted recruit come August.

Moore has one of the higher ceilings in the class standing at 6-foot-7, 200-pounds with impressive athleticism for the frame. A QB1 in the fall along with being regarded highly as a basketball recruit, Moore is polishing at a steady rate on the bump. Working exclusively from the stretch with fluidity to the drop-and-drive, Moore's takeaway works on a longer, downward path before using the front arm arm as a lever to create arm speed. He pitched at 88-90, and touched 91, with cut/ride properties to a heavy fastball. His mid-70s curveball flashed sharp and tunneled nicely off the heater as it played with depth. He showed a mid-70s change, as well, that was inconsistent in this look but flashed as a usable third. It is easy to project this out as a future 95+ mph arm given the arm talent and athleticism, and this look solidified his status as one of the top arms in the class.

Moore was the highest-ranked prospect in attendance, debuting at No. 10 in our initial 2028 class rankings. The athletic, 6-foot-6, 180 pounder with pristine projections tossed a lower intent bullpen at 83-86, touching 87 as he got moving towards the end of the 'pen. He gets to a tall lift with developing lower-half mechanics. There is an occasional hitch at the top of the lift that tends to get him out of sync, but when he is able to keep the flow of his delivery, the arm syncs on-time. The arm action is long and there is present strength, and he creates leveraged arm speed as he tucks the front-side and gets to a 3/4 to high 3/4 slot. He showed an upside slider at 74-75, and developing change that he dropped slot on in the upper-70s. Moore shows power potential as a position player prospect, as well, 92 off the bat with feel to lift. Bishop is also a standout basketball player, and quarterback, speaking volumes to the athleticism that his projectable frame holds. To sum it up, this is what a high-end, Indiana arm looks like as a freshman. There is immense upside and I feel confident saying if he stays healthy, Moore will throw 92+ sooner-rather than later.
