This Phillies prospect is the son of a former MLB GM, and ‘he shows that on the field’

READING, Pa. — Well before Robert Moore began his time as a minor-league player at Double-A Reading, spending his days training and competing at FirstEnergy Stadium, he got an up-close view of the major-league lifestyle.

The son of longtime executive Dayton Moore, he had a unique upbringing that brought him closer to the sport than most kids. Robert Moore grew up hanging out in the front office’s boxes at Kauffman Stadium and attending postseason games for a Kansas City Royals team that went to back-to-back World Series in the mid-2010s.

And after all those years around the big leagues, Moore is now pursuing a career of his own.
