whatever happened to …
Aiden Moffett, the former Taylorsville High flamethrower, picked up his second win of the Cape Cod League season on Thursday. The 6-foot-3, 221-pound right-hander threw a scoreless, hitless 2 2/3 innings in relief for Yarmouth-Dennis, striking out six and walking four. Moffett is 2-1 with a 5.08 ERA over seven games, 12 2/3 innings. He pitched the last two seasons at LSU, entered the portal and recently announced a transfer to Texas for 2025. An All-State pick at Taylorsville, Moffett went 9-1 with a 0.54 ERA and 128 strikeouts (with 32 walks) in 52 innings as a senior in 2022, according to MaxPreps. He was a highly rated recruit with a 99-mph fastball but pitched in only one game for LSU in 2023, when the Paul Skenes-fueled Tigers won the national title. Moffett worked 17 2/3 relief innings for the Tigers this past season, putting up a 5.60 ERA with 21 K’s and 12 walks. If he can harness his stuff, he’ll be a weapon for the Longhorns. P.S. Mississippi Valley State alum Dreylin Holmes went 2-for-5 in his MLB Draft League debut on Thursday. Holmes, 6-2, 215, was a .300 hitter with 29 homers and 29 steals in three seasons for the Delta Devils. Also in the Draft League, A.J. Stinson, a former William Carey star from Hattiesburg, threw a scoreless inning in his ’24 debut. Stinson won 18 games for Carey in 2022-23. The Draft League is a pro league in the second half of its split season.
