Biography
Jim Moore was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the Major Leagues from 1928 to 1932. Born in 1903, he made his debut during a time when the sport was transitioning into a more modern era, characterized by the rise of powerful hitters and the strategic use of pitchers in various roles. Over the course of his career, Moore finished with a record of 2-4 and an earned run average (ERA) of 4.52, contributing to his teams primarily as a relief pitcher, evidenced by his single save and a total of 29 strikeouts.
While Moore's time in the league was relatively brief, he played in an era where the game was evolving, with teams increasingly relying on specialized pitching roles. His contributions, though modest in terms of statistics, were part of the larger narrative of baseball during the late 1920s and early 1930s, a time when clubs began to recognize the importance of a strong bullpen and the strategic deployment of pitchers to secure victories.
