Matthew Cody Moore[1] (born June 18, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Tampa Bay Rays, San Francisco Giants, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, Cleveland Guardians, and Miami Marlins and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
Born in
Moore struggled with run control in his second season with the Giants, leading the National League in earned runs allowed, and was traded to the Rangers in the 2018 offseason. His earned run average (ERA) stayed high with the Rangers, and he was sent to the bullpen to focus on his technique. In 2019, the Tigers signed Moore to a one-year contract, hoping for a rebound season, but he played only two games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Moore spent one year with the Japan Series-winning Hawks before returning to the US in 2021 to play with the Phillies.

Moore experienced a
Professional career
Minor leagues
After being drafted 245th overall, Moore signed a $115,000 contract with the Rays in 2007.
In 2009, Moore was assigned to the
Moore started the 2011 season with the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits. On June 16, he pitched his first career no-hitter, and the first franchise no-hitter for the Biscuits, in an 8–0 victory against the Mobile BayBears.[10] That July, he pitched an inning at the XM Futures Game, retiring all three batters he faced in 11 pitches that reached up to 100 mph (160 km/h).[3] Shortly afterwards, on July 22, he was promoted to the Triple-A Durham Bulls. He went 12–3 for the season, with a 1.92 ERA in 155 innings across 27 starts. Moore's 210 strikeouts were the most of any minor league player in Rays history, breaking his own record from the previous season, and made him the first minor league pitcher to record 200 or more strikeouts in back-to-back seasons.[7]
Tampa Bay Rays
Moore was called up to the Rays on September 11, 2011,[11] and made his MLB debut three days later, giving up a two-run home run to Matt Wieters in the eighth inning of a 6–2 loss against the Baltimore Orioles.[12] His performance recovered in time for his first major league start on September 22, becoming the first pitcher in MLB history to pitch 11 strikeouts in five innings or fewer against the New York Yankees. The Rays went on to win 15–8.[13] Moore was given the start in Game 1 of the 2011 American League Division Series (ALDS) against the Texas Rangers, pitching seven shutout innings in a 9–0 victory for the Rays.[14] Moore finished his first major league season with a 1–0 record and a 2.89 ERA in 9+1⁄3 innings.[15]
On December 9, 2011, the Rays signed Moore to a guaranteed five-year, $14 million contract. His signing was part of a trend within the Rays organization of offering long-term contracts to young pitchers, but his contract was the largest ever in both guaranteed dollars and potential earnings for any pitcher with less than two years of service time.[16]
Moore began with the Rays in 2012 as part of a five-player starting rotation that also included James Shields, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, and Jeff Niemann.[17] On June 15, Moore combined with relievers Burke Badenhop and Brandon Gomes to pitch a one-hit shutout against the Miami Marlins, winning 11–0 and breaking a three-game losing streak.[18] The Rays gave away a bobblehead figure of Moore on their July 22 game against the Seattle Mariners after the pitcher went 5–1 with a 3.94 ERA in eight starts in June and July.[19] Moore finished the season with an 11–11 record, a 3.81 ERA, and 175 strikeouts in 31 appearances and 177+1⁄3 innings.[15]
Returning to the Rays in 2013, Moore became the first left-handed
Elbow troubles followed Moore into 2014. He exited the mound in the middle of an April 7 game against the
Moore began the 2015 season on the 60-day disabled list while recovering from surgery.
Going into the
San Francisco Giants
On August 1, 2016, the Rays traded Moore to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for third baseman Matt Duffy and prospects Lucius Fox and Michael Santos.[35] After reports emerged that Moore would be wearing No. 55 with the Giants, the number he had worn with the Rays & a number that had previously belonged to pitcher Tim Lincecum, Moore and the team had to quiet upset fans by saying that he would be No. 45 instead.[36]
Moore debuted with the club on August 4, giving up two runs and six walks in six innings. The Giants won 3–2 against the Philadelphia Phillies in the 10th inning.[37] That same month, on August 26, Moore came within one out of a no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers, throwing seven strikeouts in 8+2⁄3 innings. Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager hit a single in the bottom of the ninth inning, and reliever Santiago Casilla came in to pitch the final out of the Giants' 4–0 win. It would have been the fifth season in a row that a member of the Giants' pitching rotation threw a no-hitter.[38] In the postseason, Moore pitched eight innings in Game 4 of the 2016 National League Division Series (NLDS). Giants manager Bruce Bochy pulled Moore before the final inning, and the Chicago Cubs overcame a 5–2 deficit to win the game and the series.[39] Moore finished 2016 with a cumulative 13–12 record, 4.08 ERA, and 178 strikeouts in 198+1⁄3 innings.[15]
The
Texas Rangers
On December 15, 2017, the Giants traded Moore to the Texas Rangers in exchange for pitching prospects
Detroit Tigers
On December 4, 2018, the Detroit Tigers signed Moore to a one-year, $2.5 million contract in anticipation that he would follow Mike Fiers as a low-risk pitcher heading into a rebound season.[46] On April 6, 2019, however, in only his second start of the season, Moore exited the mound three innings into a game against the Kansas City Royals, having sprained his right knee while attempting to field a bunt from Royals batter Billy Hamilton.[47] He underwent meniscus surgery on April 14, and three days later, Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire announced that Moore would miss the rest of the MLB season.[48] Prior to his injury, Moore pitched ten shutout innings for the Tigers.[49]
Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks
On December 26, 2019, Moore signed a one-year, US$3.5 million (¥384,000,000) contract with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), who were looking to rebuild their pitching rotation after losing Ariel Miranda and Robert Suárez.[50][51] He was part of a six-man rotation for the Hawks, who won the Pacific League by 14 games.[52] Moore pitched seven shutout innings, including five strikeouts, in Game 3 of the 2020 Japan Series, and the Hawks came within one out of a combined no-hitter in their 4–0 victory over the Yomiuri Giants.[53] He finished the season with a 2.65 ERA in 15 starts with the Hawks.[54] Because professional baseball returned to play in Japan earlier than in the US, Moore was able to pitch 85 innings in 2020, one more than MLB season leader Lance Lynn.[55]
Philadelphia Phillies
On February 3, 2021, Moore signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Phillies. He was the first left-handed starting pitcher to begin a season with the Phillies since Cole Hamels in 2015.[52] In his first three starts with the Phillies, Moore pitched to a 9.82 ERA, with nine walks in only 11 innings.[56] His poor performance, coupled with time spent on the COVID-19 protocol list, led to his removal from the starting rotation and replacement with veteran Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez.[57] Back spasms caused Moore to miss over a month of pitching, from May 20 to June 25, at which point he was reactivated to start the second game of a doubleheader against the Mets.[58] On July 16, in the first game of a doubleheader against the Miami Marlins, Moore struck out nine batters in 4+1⁄3 innings; it was the first time that he had fanned that many since 2017, in a game against the Washington Nationals.[59] Despite struggles in recent starts, Phillies manager Joe Girardi gave Moore a start against the Cincinnati Reds on August 11. Moore no-hit the Reds through 6 innings, throwing only 76 pitches while walking 2, but was removed in the 7th. The combined no-hit bid ended in the 8th when Archie Bradley gave up a solo homerun to Tyler Stephenson. Moore would however earn the win as the Phillies won the game 6–1.[60] Moore finished the 2021 season with a 2–4 record and a 6.29 ERA.
Texas Rangers (second stint)
On March 14, 2022, Moore signed a minor league contract with the Rangers.[61] He opened the 2022 season with the Round Rock Express, and Texas selected his contract to the active roster on April 16.[62] Moore spent the 2022 season as a reliever and excelled in the new role, posting a 5–2 record with a 1.95 ERA and 83 strikeouts over 74 innings in 63 appearances.[63]
Los Angeles Angels
On February 16, 2023, Moore signed a 1-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels worth $7.55 million.[64] In 41 appearances for the Angels, he logged a 2.66 ERA with 49 strikeouts in 44.0 innings of work. He was placed on waivers by the team on August 29.[65]
Cleveland Guardians
On August 31, 2023, the Cleveland Guardians claimed Moore off waivers.[66] In 5 games for the Guardians, Moore registered a 3.86 ERA with 8 strikeouts in 4+2⁄3 innings of work.
Miami Marlins
On September 19, 2023, Moore was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.[67] He made three scoreless appearances for Miami before he was designated for assignment on October 1.[68] On October 5, Moore elected free agency.[69]
Los Angeles Angels (second stint)
On January 27, 2024, Moore signed a one-year, $9 million contract to return to the Angels.[70]
Pitcher profile
Early in his career,
Moore utilizes a four-pitch repertoire consisting of a 92 mph (148 km/h) four-seam fastball, an 83 mph (134 km/h) changeup, an 80 mph (130 km/h) curveball, and an 89 mph (143 km/h) cut fastball.[77] He and reliever Dellin Betances are known for having a unique grip on their four-seam fastball, in which they tuck their thumb under the ball, which some sports journalists and fellow pitchers believe negatively impacts their pitch control.[78] Moore's most consistent flaw has been his walk total; in 2013, his best season statistically, he walked 76 batters in 150 innings.[79]
Personal life
In the offseason, Moore lives with his wife Anna, a labor and delivery nurse, and their son in Scottsdale, Arizona.[80] Their son was born in February 2019 in Tampa.[81]
