Christian Moore Promoted to Triple-A, Collects Three Hits in Debut
Christian Moore has been promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake and played his first game there on Tuesday. The 2024 eighth overall draft pick collected a hit on the first pitch he saw and proceeded to collect three more hits, finishing the game 3-for-4 with three singles, a walk, and two RBI. The Angels' top-ranked prospect played two games at Single-A last season before getting promoted to Double-A, where the youngster hit .322 with five home runs in 23 games, although it came with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate. This season hasn't been nearly as successful, hitting .234 with one home run through 34 games, however, there was a slight improvement in strikeout rate to 27.4 percent. If the 22-year-old can hit the ground running in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, there's a shot to make a debut in the majors later this year. With good power for a second baseman along with some speed, managers will want to be aware if he's on his way to the majors, as the right-handed slugger could be a stash candidate in deeper leagues.
