Biographical Information

Jovani Moran is a relief pitcher who made his major league debut with the Minnesota Twins late in the 2021 season. On September 13, 2022, he took over for another rookie, Joe Ryan, who had kept the Kansas City Royals through 7 innings, but had reached his pitch count limit. He retired the Royals in order in the 8th and struck out Drew Waters to start the 9th, but then ran into trouble, walking Hunter Dozier and MJ Melendez before Bobby Witt Jr. ended the no-hit bid with a double. He also gave up a single to Sebastian Rivero and a sacrifice fly to Vinnie Pasquantino before striking out Nick Pratto to end the game, with the Twins winning, 6-3.
