2. Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee

Perhaps no player has improved his Draft stock during the College World Series as much as Christian Moore. Over the course of this NCAA Tournament, Moore has moved from a fringe first rounder, likely Comp round or second round, to a surefire first rounder, possibly in the first half of the first round.

Moore has hit for the cycle during this College World Series, completing the feat against Florida State. He's hitting .571 (8 for 14) during the CWS.

On the season, Moore has hit .385/.460/.816 with 19 doubles and 33 homers. The power is real and the hit tool has been showing continued improvement. Moore plays an up the middle position, which is a plus for the Brewers, but he's limited to second base only at the next level and likely can't make the move to shortstop.

Still, a bat like his, that comes up clutch in big moments and hits for both average and power as well as he does is worthy of consideration if he's still on the board by the time the Brewers pick at 17.

Moore's stock may have jumped so much that the Brewers won't have a chance to pick him. Even if that's the case, Brewers fans should watch him closely during the College World Series final because he's just plain fun to watch.
