“Big Game Bob” is now “Big League Bob.”
[autotag]Robert Moore[/autotag], a key piece to Arkansas Baseball’s infield over the last three seasons, is now a professional baseball player after signing his rookie contract with the Milwaukee Brewers reports MLB Pipeline’s, Jim Callis.
Callis broke the news of Moore’s contract signing late Tuesday, reporting that Moore has signed with the Brewers for $800,000, which is $115,000 below slot value for the 72nd overall selection.
Moore saw a drop in production at the plate in 2022. After batting .283 with 16 home runs and 53 RBI during his sophomore campaign in 2021, Moore hit just .232 with eight long balls and 44 RBI for the Razorbacks in 2022.
What he lacked at the plate, he made up for in the field. He saw an uptick on the defensive side by fielding at a .992 clip, making 93 putouts and assisting with 169 outs while only committing two errors.
By signing with Milwaukee, Moore is out to form his own legacy. Moore’s father, the president of baseball operations for the Kansas City Royals, Dayton Moore, did not choose his son during the 2022 MLB Draft.
Despite not being drafted by Kansas City, Moore says that he had his mind set on Milwaukee after a meeting with regional scout Mark Muzzi.
