Christian Moore will become the tenth former Vol to play in Major League Baseball from the Tony Vitello era.
Vitello’s first season as Tennessee’s head coach was in 2018. Moore will join the following nine other former Vols under the eighth-year head coach who reached MLB: Garrett Crochet, Chase Silseth, Ben Joyce, Andre Lipcius, Trey Lipscomb, Jordan Beck , Seth Halvorsen, Chase Dollander and Blade Tidwell.
“The Angels are calling up their top prospect, Christian Moore, a source told MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger on Thursday night,” Brent Maguire announced on MLB.com. “Ranked the organization’s No. 1 prospect by MLB Pipeline and the No. 56 overall prospect in the Majors, the second baseman will be in uniform for the club’s series opener against the Orioles in Baltimore on Friday.”
The Angels will play at Baltimore on Friday. First pitch between Los Angeles and the Orioles is slated for 7:05 p.m. EDT at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland. The contest can be watched on Apple TV+.
