Moore Selected By Seattle In 2nd Round
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State right-handed pitcher Andrew Moore has been selected in the second round, 72nd overall by the Seattle Mariners in the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Monday.
Moore is the first Oregon State player chosen, assuring that OSU will extend its streak of having at least one player selected every year since 1993.
Moore has pitched three seasons for the Beavers, going 27-9 over 51 games, 48 of which are starts. He has a miniscule 2.10 earned run average and has struck out 251 to just 75 walks in 347 2/3 innings.
Moore has racked up the honors while at Oregon State. He’s been named both an All-American and All-Pac-12 performer in both 2013 and 2015, and was the Pac-12 Conference’s Freshman of the Year in 2013. A digital communications major, he was named Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team in 2015, just weeks after being named Academic All-District 8.
Moore is also a four-time Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week.
He is the fifth Oregon State player to be selected by Seattle in the draft, with Andy Peterson and Kavin Keyes last selected in 2014.
The selection is the first of Moore’s career.
