An interview with Rays pitching prospect Spencer Moran

Spencer Moran was an 11th round pick of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2014. An intriguing pitcher given the fact he had already hit 93 MPH with his fastball and sat at a lean 6'6'', 180 lbs, Moran could have easily gone in the top five rounds, but sign-ability issues caused him to slip to the 11th round, where the team was able to ink him nonetheless.

Moran made his debut for the GCL Rays in 2014, throwing 17.0 innings of 4.24 ERA ball with a 5.29 K/9 and 2.12 BB/9. He was bumped up a level in 2015, moving to Advanced-Rookie Princeton and impressing.
