After just three games in professional baseball, Moore boasts a .533 batting average, two home runs, and seven RBIs. His standout performances have sparked considerable buzz, leading some to speculate about a potential Major League debut this season. With the Angels sitting at 48-63 and having little chance of making the playoffs, they might be inclined to give some of their more promising prospects a chance as the season winds down.

Selected 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. In his junior year, he achieved a .375 batting average, hit 74 RBIs, and hit 34 home runs. Moore played a pivotal role in leading the Volunteers to their first-ever College World Series championship, Moore also became the second player in College World Series History to hit for the cycle in the Vols' opening game of the series.
