Walk-Off Debut. Now Make It a Career.

Christian Moore's MLB debut featured a walk-off home run. That is not something you forget, and it set an expectation — this is a player who arrives with an edge. At 22, with a walk-off in his first week and a homer off a Padres arm in the second spring training game of 2026, the ceiling questions are real and the floor questions are still being answered.

The most interesting development this spring: Suzuki is giving Moore reps at third base for positional flexibility. If he can hold his own at the hot corner alongside his natural second base, the roster implications shift significantly. A utility player who can cover second, third, and short gives Suzuki lineup options that this team has never had.

Swing concerns are real — scouts have flagged it. He can be beaten with velocity up and breaking balls away. But the same was said about every young hitter before they made the adjustments. The clutch debut shows the makeup is there. Now comes the work.

The 2B job is his to lose entering 2026, and that is the correct call. He hit 9 HR in 62 games as a 21-year-old — that pace over a full season is 23 HR, which is exactly the kind of secondary power that makes a second baseman a genuine weapon rather than a lineup filler. Let him play and see who he is.
