11/2/13 Moppert was one of the more intriguing pitchers to throw at the event. The 6-foot-1, 165-pound righty sat 78-80 out of a high 3/4 arm slot, but it was the action of his fastball that stood out. He throws the pitch with natural cut action and it also showed some downward plane. Moppert also commanded a 72 mph 11/5 breaking curveball and a 73 mph changeup. As he develops his athletic frame Moppert could add velocity and his cut fastball could be a very effective pitch at the next level.
