Texas State’s freshman lefty flashed ace-level upside before injury
In the 2026 season, Nolan Moore emerged fast for Texas State, striking out 15 in 15.0 innings with a 0.60 ERA across three starts before a reported season-ending elbow injury halted his run. The left-hander was praised out of high school for front-end rotation stuff and a fastball up to 94 mph, plus a polished two-way background that hints at competitiveness and athleticism. Why care? If healthy, he profiles as a high-upside starter with swing-and-miss potential, but the injury history makes him more upside bet than sure thing right now.
