Tennessee star Christian Moore played impressively as the Vols were able to defeat Florida State 7-2 in a rematch on Wednesday afternoon. The Vols have now advanced to the Men's College World Series finals.
After the win, Moore was seen rushing toward his girlfriend, Gracelyn Veitch, to hug her.
She shared a video on her Instagram account with the caption:
"My favorite person in the whole world."
Veitch shared a series of pictures from the game. She wore a simple white dress and was accompanied by her "girls."
"the girls in omaha!" she wrote as the caption of the post.
Gracelyn has been supporting her boyfriend throughout his and the Tennessee Vols' run in the Men's College World Series tournament. Sharing stories, messages, and pictures of her boyfriend's accomplishments became a regular practice during the tournament.
In the Tennessee vs. Florida State game, Christian Moore and Blake Burke got five of UT's 10 hits and drove three of the seven runs. The two combined to go 5-for-9 with three runs scored, three RBIs, a triple, and a home run.
Christian Moore a likely first-rounder in MLB Draft
Moore has emerged as a standout player despite facing challenges like vision issues and disruptions due to the pandemic. With remarkable talent and leadership qualities, the infielder has impressed many college baseball enthusiasts.
His strong performances against Florida State and in the tournament should strengthen his chances of being a first-round pick in next month's MLB draft.
He is expected to go in the range of No. 18 to No. 26 but as per AZ Sports' report, he can even go much higher. The Boston Red Sox are expected to pick Christian Moore as their No. 12 overall pick because of his offensive prowess.
Moore is not quite as strong defensively, though, as he struggles to make routine plays. And with his average arm, he may have to play second base or left/center field in the MLB.
