In 1951, the family moved to Manhattan Beach, California where he attended Mira Costa High School and became known for baseball and basketball. As an All-Conference pitcher, he complied 0.44 earned run average and attracted attention from a half-dozen major league scouts.

Moeller's Dodger teammates resented his sizeable bonus. In particular, Duke Snider, the Dodgers' star centerfielder from their days in Brooklyn, was openly resentful of Moeller's bonus; in his prime, Snider had not made more than $44,000 a season, and he felt young unproven players with large bonuses did not belong in the Majors. In 1962, at Snider's saying, the team voted Moeller only half the playoff cut despite Moeller having played the full season and contributed to the team's run. Snider would later apologize to Moeller for his behavior towards him. He pitched two innings in the 1966 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. ## Personal life

• Joe Moeller – Society for American Baseball Research

  Joseph Douglas Moeller, Jr. was born on February 15, 1943, the second of three children of Joseph Moeller, Sr. and Lois (Reymeyer) Moeller, in Blue Island, Illinois, immediately south of Chicago. He was the great-grandson of German immigrants Frank and Amelia (Kreiter) Moeller who arrived in the Windy City in the second half of the 19th century. Frank’s son Joseph was a fulltime machinist and believed to be a semi-pro boxer who, according to family lore, lost his young wife in a house fire in Chicago in 1928. Twelve years later Joseph’s son—the ballplayer’s father—worked as a steel metal stripper. He married around 1938 and was living with his wife and eldest son under the roof of an older brother on Claremont Avenue five miles southwest of Chicago’s Comisky Park. [...] In 1971 The Sporting News reported “Joe Moeller, the sometime starter, sometime relief pitcher of the [Los Angeles] Dodgers [was] a ‘situation’ pitcher.’ ‘The problem,’ Moeller [joked] ‘is that they haven’t found the right situation.’”1 Dubbed the hardest thrower in the Dodger stable of flamethrowers in 1962—a remarkable claim considering the presence of future Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax—longtime skipper Walter Alston felt he would “develop faster than [Koufax].”2 Al Campanis, the Dodgers’ scouting director, called Moeller “the best prospect I’ve ever seen . . . [he has] an uncanny mastery of the ball, with skills that some might not attain in years.”3 The youngest starting pitcher in Dodgers’ history (through 2015), “the stamp of stardom”4 got waylaid by a continuous series of injuries.
