Well, that didn’t take long. Former Tennessee Vols INF Christian Moore is moving up in the minor leagues.
Moore has reportedly been promoted from low-A ball up to double AA after a red-hot showing during his first week.
The Angels don’t waste ANY time
The club is promoting 2024 first-rounder Christian Moore to Double-A after just two games with Low-A Inland Empire, per @SamBlum3.
Moore was the No. 8 pick this year.

Is Belichick still planning to coach in 2025?
Moore was drafted with the eighth overall pick of the Los Angeles Angels in last month’s MLB Draft, and he has wasted little time showing off the bat that drew the Angels’ attention.

In just two games in low-A ball with Inland Empire, Moore went 6-11 with a home run, double, triple, and 6 runs batted in. That’s a pretty great way to speed track y@
our way towards the big club.
