With the promotion of Dylan Axelrod up to the big leagues to step in for Homer Bailey the Louisville Bats had an opening in their rotation. Instead of pulling a former starter from the bullpen to fill it, the Cincinnati Reds have promoted RHP Jon Moscot to the Bats. Moscot had spent the entire 2014 season in Double-A Pensacola with the Blue Wahoos. Here are his stats in his parts of two seasons at the Double-A level:
| Year | Age | Team | ERA | IP | H | HR | BB | K | WHIP |
| 2013 | 21 | Pen | 3.19 | 31.0 | 34 | 3 | 12 | 28 | 1.48 |
| 2014 | 22 | Pen | 3.13 | 149.1 | 145 | 11 | 43 | 111 | 1.26 |
| Total | – | Pen | 3.14 | 180.1 | 179 | 14 | 55 | 139 | 1.30 |
The just turned 23-year-old right hander was drafted in the 4th round of the 2012 draft, so he has rocketed up through the system pretty quickly as he’s now reached Triple-A in just his second full season. The Reds were two days late on the birthday present for Moscot, but I’m sure he will take it even if it was belated.
