Moore, 38, has been in the Braves organization since 1994. In 2002, he was named Director of Player Personnel and since then has been responsible for overseeing all aspects of scouting and player development.

"This promotion recognizes the excellent work that Dayton has done in the Scouting and Player Development departments and the high regard we have for his administrative skills. I am extremely fortunate to work with two top baseball executives like Dayton Moore and Frank Wren (Vice President/Assistant General Manager) in the operation of the Braves organization."
