Iowa’s young strike-throwing righty with real upside
In the 2026 season, Cole Moore logged 20 appearances, including seven starts, and finished 3-0 with a 4.68 ERA, 23 strikeouts and 17 walks for Iowa before transferring to Nebraska. He’s a 6-foot-3, 215-pound RHP whose value is tied to durability, size and multi-role flexibility, and he already showed he can handle meaningful innings as a true freshman. The differentiator is projection: he’s a homegrown Iowa arm with strong high-school pedigree and room to sharpen command, which makes him a worthwhile fit for teams betting on development.
