Christian Moore Ticketed For Double-A
3 days agoMLB.com's Brendan Samson writes that Los Angeles Angels second base prospect Christian Moore is expected to start the 2025 season with Double-A Rocket City. Many folks believed that Moore had a good shot to make the team's Opening Day roster, especially due to injuries to Zach Neto (shoulder) and Yoan Moncada (thumb) to open the season. Instead, the 22-year-old will start with the Trash Pandas after hitting .222 (10-for-45) with four RBI and 17 strikeouts in 52 plate appearances over 24 Cactus League games this spring. The eighth overall pick last year out of Tennessee is the Angels' top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and also ranks fourth overall at the second base position entering 2025. While Moore has intriguing pop for a second baseman, he also struck out 30% of the time last year at Double-A, so the Angels want to see more before they make him their starting second baseman.
