Greg Moore

Player Profile

Last College:
University of San Francisco, 2001

Position:
Assistant Coach

Experience:
Seventh Year

Greg Moore enters his seventh season as an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco. After joining the Diamond Dons staff for the 2002 season as a volunteer assistant, Moore was elevated to pitching coach and recruiting coordinator during the summer of 2002. He also oversees his team's academic success.

A tireless recruiter and excellent talent evaluator, Moore has spearheaded efforts to improve the starting rotation and bullpen. In his first recruiting class, USF landed two recruits rated in the top-100 nationally and three players signed by the Dons were drafted in the 2003 Major League Draft.

In 2006, Moore coached WCC Pitcher of the Year, RHP Patrick McGuigan, who was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 27th round. He finished his career on the Hilltop as the all-time USF leader in saves (18) and tied for first in career wins (22). In 2007, Moore coached WCC First-Team selection Aaron Poreda who was taken by the Chicago White Sox (25th overall) in the MLB draft. Poreda is the highest draft choice in program history.

In 2005, under Moore's direction, the pitching staff enjoyed the finest season in school history and led the West Coast Conference with a 2.86 ERA - the lowest mark in program annals. The staff held opponents to a .234 batting average which also led the WCC. In 2004, the Dons set a school record for strikeout-to-walk ratio with a 2.4:1, and tied a record with the most strikeouts in a single season with 389. In 2006, the staff compiled a 2.3:1 ratio and allowed just 112 extra base hits. The 2005 (2.86) and 2006 (3.77) Dons tallied the best team ERA's in the metal bat era.

No stranger to the USF baseball program, Moore left a stamp on his teammates and coaching staff during his time on the Hilltop. After a standout career at Long Beach Community College, Moore arrived at USF as a highly touted right-handed pitcher. Although slowed by arm injuries upon his arrival at USF, Moore made an instant impact in the clubhouse and asserted himself as a leader on and off the field. The award bestowed upon the most inspirational player now bears his name and Moore was a back-to-back-to-back winner or the honor.

An effective reliever, Moore's career highlights include a perfect inning of relief against No. 2 Stanford during his junior campaign and an RBI double at No. 11 Pepperdine in 2001 after making the conversion to catcher. Moore was also named to the 2001 West Coast Conference All-Academic team.

Moore earned his Bachelor's Degree in Education and also completed his Master's Degree in Sports and Fitness Management in 2001. Moore is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Education.

COACH GIARRATANO ON MOORE: "Greg is one of the finest young energetic pitching coaches to emerge at the Division I coaching level in quite some time. Greg's individuality, tireless work ethic, and unbelievable temperament make him one of the finest pitching coaches not only in the West Coast Conference, but in Division I baseball."
