Andrew George Moore (born June 2, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2017. Prior to playing professionally, he played college baseball for the Oregon State Beavers.

Career

Moore attended North Eugene High School in Eugene, Oregon. As a senior at North Eugene, he had a 0.76 earned run average (ERA) with 125 strikeouts in 72 and 2/3 innings. He played college baseball at Oregon State University for the Beavers. During his college career he was 27–9 with a 2.10 earned run average (ERA) and 251 strikeouts.[1]

Seattle Mariners

Moore was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the second round of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.[2] He made his professional debut with the Everett AquaSox.[3] He started 2016 with the Bakersfield Blaze and was promoted to the Jackson Generals during the season.[4]

Moore made his Major League Baseball debut on June 22, 2017 against the Detroit Tigers,[5] going 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, no walks and 4 strikeouts for a quality start and the win.[6] However, after his successful first start, he made several poor pitching appearances, causing him to be sent down to Triple A. He was sent back up and briefly used as a reliever. On September 7, he rejoined the starting rotation, pitching six innings against the Houston Astros and allowing only three hits.
