Samuel R. Moffet (March 14, 1857 – May 5, 1907) was an outfielder and pitcher in Major League Baseball.

[2] The following season, Moffet started his professional baseball career with the Northwestern League's Toledo Blue Stockings.

[1] After the season ended, Moffet went to Butte, Montana, and joined two of his brothers in a mining venture.

They extracted over $200,000 worth of gold and silver over the next year, and Moffet was out of professional baseball in 1885 and 1886.

In March 1889, The Meriden Daily Journal reported that he had "struck so rich in mining in Montana that he cleared $40,000".
