2021 South Side Sox Top Prospect No. 58: McKinley Moore

Right-Handed Relief Pitcher
6´6´´
225 pounds
Age: 22
SSS rank among all right-handed relief pitchers in the system: 8

McKinley Moore is another ranking based much more on potential than performance to date.

The performance part isn’t his fault, given he’s had just a half-season of pro ball after being drafted in the 14th round (No. 410 overall) out of Arkansas-Little Rock in 2019. Moore had a long taste of the Arizona Rookie League, where he filled some closer duties with three saves in 20 appearances. But with a 5.59 ERA, there were growing pains, particularly regarding his control (17 walks, 27 Ks).
