Drama : After just two games, Christian Moore reject called off by the Angels to double-A.

Christian Moore spent all of two games at the single-A level, now he’s headed to double-A ball. The former Tennessee second baseman got the call that he was moving up to the Rocket City (Huntsville) Trash Pandas on Friday, quickly taking a step closer to the major leagues with the Los Angeles Angels organization.

Moore hit .545 in his two games in single-A, hitting two doubles, a triple and smacking a home run in just 11 at bats. He drove in six runs and scored five runs.

The Angels selected Moore last month with the eighth overall pick. He just finished a ridiculously successful 2024 season for Tennessee, winning a national championship with the Volunteers. Moore hit.375 with 34 home runs this season, a season record. In 74 runs, he drove in.

Now, the issue is, when will Moore reach the major leagues? Is there a chance it may occur this year? Former Tennessee fireball Ben Joyce, who reached the majors in less than a year, is proof positive that the Angels are known for moving quickly with their top picks.

With the Angels at 47-62 overall and their increased roster in September, Moore might receive that call-up.
