Early life

Moon attended Aldine High School in Houston, Texas, where he played for the school's varsity baseball team. He then enrolled at Houston Baptist University, where he played for the Houston Baptist Huskies baseball team as a catcher.

Coaching career

Upon graduation, Moon was named an assistant at Houston Baptist. After 11 seasons as an assistant, he was promoted to head coach when Brian Huddleston retired.[1] In their final season in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the Huskies advanced to the NAIA World Series,[2] where they finished third. He led the Huskies to their first NCAA Division I baseball tournament championship in 2013, winning the Great West Conference. Two years after moving to the Southland Conference, he guided the Huskies to their first ever NCAA Division I baseball tournament appearance.[3] The following spring he was rewarded with a contract extension.[4] On May 27, 2021, Moon stepped down as the head coach of the Huskies.[5]
