Tennessee Volunteers' baseball coach Tony Vitello speaks on Christian Moore's early success in the MLB minor leagues.
After winning the national title this season, the Tennessee Volunteers had quite a few players drafted into the MLB. The first name off of the board was second baseman Christian Moore, who was selected with the eighth overall pick by the Los Angeles Angels. Moore has since made his professional debut and hasMoore started out in single-A ball and in his two games he had five hits in 11 at-bats, a home run and six RBI.
Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello recently spoke of Moore's success in the minors, and one thing he made clear was he misses seeing him in that Tennessee jersey. "It's surreal seeing him in a different uniform. I don't like not seeing him in orange but I definitely like seeing him do well and climb the ladder and I know he is with good people," Vitello said. "They've done a ton of homework on him to begin with and since they have drafted him they've been in constant communication with us just trying help him be the best player he can be.
He reeled in multiple national awards following the 2024 college baseball season including multiple outlets naming him a first-team All-American. He is the seventh Volunteer to be drafted in the first round since 2015. Moore is expected to be the first of many Volunteers drafted in this class.You can follow us for future coverage by clicking "Follow" on the top right-hand corner of the page.
