Angels' Christian Moore To Get Third Base Reps In Camp

The Los Angeles Angels have announced that prospect Christian Moore will be getting reps at third base during spring training. Moore, who was primarily a second baseman, is being given the opportunity to showcase his versatility and potentially secure a spot on the major league roster. Manager Ron Washington emphasized the importance of diversifying Moore's defensive skills, noting that the young player has shown promise at third base during instructional league play. With Anthony Rendon sidelined due to hip surgery and Yoán Moncada's injury history, Moore's ability to play third base could be a valuable asset for the Angels.
​
Moore's transition to third base comes after an impressive minor league performance, where he hit .347/.400/.584 in 25 games following his draft. The Angels are known for their aggressive promotion of top prospects, and Moore's strong showing in camp could accelerate his path to the majors. As the team navigates roster uncertainties, Moore's development at third base will be closely watched, and his success could provide the Angels with much-needed depth and flexibility in their infield.
