Acquired along with Evan Sisk from the Kansas City Royals for Bailey\u00a0Falter, Callan Moss signed as an undrafted free agent from a DII school after spending one year at Seton Hall.<\/p>\n
In his first full season in the minors, Moss was named to the All-Midwest team and was also the South Atlantic League Player of the Month for August.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Overall, Moss hit .287\/.384\/.457 with 13 home runs, 89 RBI, and 17 stolen bases.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A first-base only, right-handed prospect, Moss has put up solid contact rates at every stop so far in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moss is a great story to follow, only getting two scholarship offers out of high school, before heading to DII St. Leo, a private Catholic school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His profile puts a lot of pressure on his bat, which should get the ultimate test at Double-A this upcoming year. He’s more hit tool than pure raw power, and the Pirates helped him make adjustments to post his highest line-drive rate of any minor league stop previously.<\/p>\n
Altoona will be telling of just what his ceiling might be, which he’ll likely begin there in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Acquired along with Evan Sisk from the Kansas City Royals for Bailey\u00a0Falter, Callan Moss signed as an undrafted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[24481,18203,73,75,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-75232","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh","8":"tag-feed-article","9":"tag-pirates","10":"tag-pittsburgh","11":"tag-pittsburgh-headlines","12":"tag-pittsburgh-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
