Even with all the talk about his versatility on the field, his offense at the plate is nothing to ignore or shove aside. His flexibility also applies in the batting order, and Walsh is comfortable starting him at any spot one through nine, although he will primarily be a middle-of-the-lineup hitter.

With the change in the type of bats that will be used in college baseball this season to promote more small-ball and less power-hitting, the heart of the lineup will have to focus more on making contact and driving in runs. Moskovits is not worried about this change at all.

“Personally, I haven’t really changed my approach with the new bats,” Moskovits said. “I mean it’s not the same, but you just have to focus. If you were a good hitter with the old bats, you’ll be a good hitter with the new bats.”

With the start of the season just around the corner, Moskovits has embraced his starting role. After seeing limited action in his freshman year, he is ready to play a bigger role for the Crimson as its starting first baseman. He hopes to be a part of the first winning season for Harvard baseball in four years.

“This year should be the start of a winning tradition here,” Moskovits said. “We have all the talent to roll through the Ivy League and get to the NCAA regionals, but at this point, we just got to go outside, get back to basics, and do it.”
