A Blue Jays scout met Gabriel Moreno, a 16-year-old Venezuelan shortstop, at a workout in 2016. They asked if he’d want to take a turn behind the plate as a catcher and make a few throws down to second.
Moreno wasn’t expecting this when he arrived that day, but he was ready to participate and did so.
He finished up his session with some hitting and fielding drills, and the Blue Jays quickly gave him a contract.
Moreno discussed the notion with his agent and father, who both agreed, although it was still a position he had never played before.

Moreno is off to one of the best starts in the Northeast League, ranking third in average (.415) and fourth in OPS despite being one of the youngest players in Double-A. (1.124).
He’s hit a home run in each of his first ten games this season, including a three-run blast to the opposite field.
