Jon Moscot

In 2014, pitching for the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos, he was named a Southern League Mid-Season All-Star.

[1][2] His father grew up attending yeshiva and walking to synagogue every weekend, and his mother converted to Judaism.

[1][11] In high school Moscot pitched and played third base, batting .415 (.600 in his freshman year) and pitching with a 2.10 earned run average (ERA) and 230 strikeouts, as his team won four consecutive Western League titles and had a 48–1 record against league opponents from 2007 to 2009.

[1][12] He was twice named Western League MVP and All-City pitcher, and received the Palisades Post award for Most Outstanding Athlete.

[1] He pitched for the Cougars in the spring of 2010, had a 6–2 record with a 2.01 earned-run average, and was named to the all-Western State North first team.

[20] He made his professional debut with the Billings Mustangs and also played for the Arizona League Reds that year, with an aggregate ERA of 2.63 and 27 strikeouts in 27.1 innings.

[21][22] Moscot started 2013 by skipping the low-A Dayton Dragons and pitching for the high-A Bakersfield Blaze, with whom he earned honors as California League Pitcher of the Week and was 2–14 with a 4.59 ERA, and 112 strikeouts in 115.2 innings.

[28] With Louisville, he was 7–1 with a 3.15 ERA and 34 strikeouts in nine starts and 54.1 innings, leading all AAA pitchers in wins at the time of his June call-up.

[32] In the first inning of his third career start on June 15, Moscot dislocated his left (non-throwing) shoulder in collision during a rundown.

[34] On June 18, Manager Bryan Price announced that Moscot needed surgery, and would likely be out for the season.

[39][41] Moscot spent the 2017 and 2018 seasons on the disabled list as he attempted to recover from Tommy John surgery.

[43][44] Following his playing career, Moscot joined the Reds as a pitching coach in both Rookie Ball and Triple-A.

Although he traveled with other team members, Moscot did not play in Round 1 as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery.

[45][46] In October 2018 he became a dual Israeli citizen, partly to help Israel's baseball team make the 2020 Olympics.

"[3] Moscot pitched for Team Israel at the 2019 European Baseball Championship, going 1–0 with a 0.00 ERA as in two relief appearances he pitched 3.1 innings and gave up one hit and two walks while striking out one batter, and was credited with a win against Team Sweden.

You represent that deep heritage and culture and the feelings of that Jewish kid who wants to be an athlete one day.

"[49] Moscot intends to explore splitting time between the United States, where he is a player-coach in the Reds farm system, and Israel after the 2020 Olympics.
