Dylan Moore was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 7th round of the 2015 draft out of the University of Central Florida. He was an “old” senior, already being 22 when drafted, so he was selected as a guy who would sign for cheap as likely organization filler with that draft slot.
Moore split time between short-season Spokane of the Northwest League and low-A Hickory in the South Atlantic League in his draft season. Combined, he hit .271/.376/.454 with 21 doubles, 7 home runs, 15 stolen bases, and a 32/65 BB/K ratio over 282 plate appearances. He played 43 games at second base, 14 games at shortstop, and 3 games each at first base and third base.
