At start of his majors career, Moeller was nicknamed
The Kid

1960
season. His most productive season came in
1961
with the Angels, when he posted career-numbers in wins (4),
strikeouts
(83) and
innings pitched
(112⅔), including a 3–0 six-hit
shutout
with nine strikeouts against his former Orioles team on June 5. In 1963, his last major league season, Moeller went 2–0 in three
starts
for the Washington Senators.
In a four-season career, Moeller posted a 6–9 record with a 5.78
ERA
in 52 appearances, including 22 starts, 104 strikeouts, and 100
walks
in 152⅔ innings of work. He also pitched in the
Minor leagues
from 1956 through 1963, compiling a 37–38 record with a 3,30 ERA in 118 games, 94 as a starter.
Moeller died in his native Cincinnati at the age of 71.
