Scott Ian Moss (born October 6, 1994) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. Despite spending time on the 40-man rosters of the Cleveland Guardians and Philadelphia Phillies, he never played in the major leagues.
Moss attended DeLand High School in DeLand, Florida.[1] In 2013, as a senior, he went 4–2 with a 0.52 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 40+1⁄3 innings.[2] He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 38th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign and instead chose to enroll at the University of Florida where he played college baseball for the Florida Gators.[3]
Prior to his 2014 freshman season at Florida, Moss tore his ulnar collateral ligament and underwent Tommy John surgery, forcing him to miss all of 2014 as well as all of 2015.[4] Moss returned to action in 2016 as a redshirt sophomore, appearing in 14 games (five starts) in which he went 3–0 with a 1.57 ERA, striking out 31 batters over 23 innings.[5] He was named to the All-SEC Tournament Team after throwing six shutout innings versus the LSU Tigers.[6] After the season, the Cincinnati Reds selected Moss in the fourth round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft with the 108th overall pick.[7]
