Charlton Moore (Mt. Carmel HS, ’89) was a three sport letterman in football, baseball, and basketball.  A three year varsity starter in baseball, he garnered All-Catholic League Honors his senior year. Coach Moore was also a member of the 1989 5A State Championship football team, the team that went on to repeat as State Champs in 1990 and 1991.

He started his collegiate baseball at Triton College whose baseball team participated in the 1990 NJCAA Collegiate World Series. After a year at Triton, he moved on to Chicago State University on a full athletic scholarship. At CSU, Coach Moore was named team MVP, hitting over .400 and leading the team in hits, homeruns and RBI’S. He was drafted in 1992 by the Philadelphia Phillies as a freshman in the 46th round.

Coach Moore played three years in the Phillies organization, and then played five more years in independent professional baseball: two seasons with the Mobile Bay Sharks, one with the Merriville (IL) Muddogs, and two with the Will County Cheetahs.

Coach Moore started his baseball coaching career at Carver Military Academy; and spent seven years at Hales Franciscan High School.

A five-tool player must be a hard worker, coachable, able to adjust quickly, and accept constructive criticism. Since Coach Moore is a serious teacher of the game, he expects you to be a serious student, because, ultimately, that’s what it takes to be a next-level player. He has instructed at several facilities including the most recent at Five Tools Baseball Academy in Frankfort and Experience Sports Academy in South Holland.
