UNC in MLB: Colin Moran off to a hot start with the Pittsburgh Pirates

In 2013, the Miami Marlins drafted Colin Moran with the sixth overall pick. It has been an up and down journey for the Tar Heels former third baseman but he has finally found a home.

Moran has gone from Miami to Houston and now Pittsburgh, but he has never played better than he has now. Moran was dealt to Pittsburgh as a part of the Gerrit Cole deal over the summer, which sent Cole to Houston for Moran and other prospects.

It looked like Moran had put it together last year, but that was in limited time.
