If it's not with Atlanta, he can pitch somewhere in the big leagues. Moore worked Charlotte's hitters inside and out with fastballs, change-ups and breaking balls in the strike zone, the same pattern he followed while not allowing a run in his first 11 innings this season. The Texas native got away from that design some while getting roughed up for nine earned runs in his past two starts. I wanted to get back to my strengths, and that's getting the strike inside instead of just missing inside. That frees up the outside part of the plate.
Few pitchers like to pitch inside because a slight mistake can mean a home run.
Moore, though, makes it a priority. Trey's an exception to that. He has no fear of pitching inside. He throws that pitch with conviction. Norris and his catching partner, Jesse Levis, have hit with conviction.
