Christian Moore got off to a fast start in Double-A, hitting a home run in his first game with the Rocket City Trash Pandas, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels.

Christian Moore took the minor leagues by storm after playing just two games in Single-A and then being promoted to Double-A. In his first game with the Rocket City Trash Pandas, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, Moore went 2 for 4, highlighted by a solo home run in the sixth inning.

Moore, who has played just three games in professional baseball, has a . 533 batting average, two home runs and seven RBIs. His outstanding performances have created considerable excitement and led some to speculate about a potential Major League debut this season. With the Angels at 48-63 and with little chance of making the playoffs, they may be inclined to give some of their more promising prospects a chance as the season winds down.

Drafted by the Los Angeles Angels with the 8th overall pick in the MLB Draft, Moore made a significant impact during his time at Tennessee. He set program records for both career home runs and home runs in a single season. His junior year, he had a . 375 batting average, 74 RBIs and 34 home runs. Moore played a key role in leading the Volunteers to their first College World Series championship, and he also became the second player in College World Series history to hit the cycle in the Vols’ opening game of the series.
