Former Tennessee star Christian Moore had his share of glory right about this time last year, leading the Volunteers to their first national championship.
Now, 12 months later, while the College World Series gets ready to crown its next champion, Moore has realized another baseball dream. The 2nd baseman, who is the Los Angeles Angels’ top prospect, got called up to the major leagues and was immediately inserted into Friday night’s lineup against the Baltimore Orioles.
Mother Nature had a sense of humor, though, and Moore had to wait a little longer for that first taste of the big leagues. Friday night’s game in Baltimore was delayed by inclement weather. When it eventually begins, so will Moore’s time in the major leagues. He was slotted in the No. 9 hole in the Angels’ lineup and will be at 2nd base to launch the next phase of his baseball life.
To celebrate the occasion, the Angels’ social media account gave Moore a little tip of the cap, tweeting a post this afternoon with the headline: “Today just got much Moore exciting”. The play on words was cute, but Moore will be relieved when the game finally begins and he can get those nerves out of the way.

Moore was the 8th overall selection in last year’s draft after that glorious run with the Vols in Omaha. He had a sparkling .984 OPS across 2 levels in just 25 games last season, so he merely had a taste of pro baseball in 2024. Then he began this season with Double-A Rocket City, where he had a .665 OPS in 34 games. Moore was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake City on May 20, where he went crazy with a .999 OPS with 4 homers in just 20 games.
Less than a month later, on Friday the 13th, Moore got the call he only had to wait about a year for.
The O’s-Angels game eventually got underway about an hour later, and now it was go time for Moore in the big leagues.
