Chad Moeller (front office)

He now runs a youth baseball hitting and catching academy in Arizona and seems happy doing that. But during his playing days, his teammates predicted he'd be a future general manager. An economics major at USC, Moeller was the perfect blend of intellectual and jock. He was a perpetual question asker, always exploring the reason things were done. As a catcher, pitchers loved throwing to him because he always had a plan. He played just one season with the Orioles, in 2009, but was in the big leagues for 11 years.
