The Los Angeles Angels have been very aggressive promoting prospects recently. On Thursday, they did it again, elevating second baseman Christian Moore to the majors.

Moore was selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He is 22 years old, a stout six-feet-tall, 210 pounds and bats from the right side.

In 92 Triple-A plate appearances this season, Moore slashed .350/.424/.575 with a 10.9% walk rate, 27.2% strikeout rate and .225 ISO. The BABIP was .462, though. Moore had four home runs, 16 runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases.

Moore was the number-one ranked prospect in the Angels system while being 60th in MLB’s Top 100.

Luis Rengifo and Scott Kingery have been playing second base. Rengifo will likely man third base while Moore slots in at second base. Scott Kingery and Kevin Newman will likely see their playing time reduced.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
