high-upside, switch-hitting infielder with pro pedigree — and a fresh portal twist
Ethan Moore arrived at Tennessee as a top-100 national recruit, ranked No. 94 by Perfect Game for the 2025 class, and signed after being drafted by the Reds in the 18th round of the 2025 MLB Draft, which tells you the tools are real[3][8]. He’s a switch-hitting infielder at 6-foot-0, 203 pounds who was expected to compete for middle-infield work, but he redshirted and then entered the transfer portal after the 2026 season without appearing in a game for Tennessee[2][5][8]. The big sell is upside: advanced athleticism, pro-level interest, and a profile that suggests a potential everyday infield fit if he lands the right developmental runway[2][3][12].
