BOWIE, Md. - Baysox first baseman Trey Mancini has won the 2015 Eastern League Batting Title. Mancini, who was previously named May Player of the Month by both the Carolina League and the Baltimore Orioles Player Development staff, is the first Baysox player to win the batting title since Lou Montanez in 2008.

Mancini finished the season batting .359 (117-326), but he was 29 plate appearances shy of the 383 needed to qualify for the award. Per Rule 9.22(a), Mancini took an 0-for-29 to reach the required number of plate appearances. He then won the batting title hitting .330 (117-355), beating out Altoona?s Adam Frazier, who hit .324 (122-377). The final .330 batting average for Mancini is the third-highest in a single season in franchise history.

In 84 games with the Baysox in 2015, Mancini hit .359 with 29 doubles, 13 home runs and 57 RBI. In 136 combined games between High-A Frederick and Bowie, Mancini hit .375 with 43 doubles, 21 home runs and 89 RBI.

That is quite impressive. By my calculation, he could have been charged with 0 for 35 and still won the batting title.

I have never laid eyes on the guy, but it's hard for me to get too worried about his bat speed when he is putting up numbers like this.

And tell me again why we can't see him in 2015 just for a few at bats?

I saw him in Myrtle Beach. He hit a monster homer off the top of the centerfield back screen and had two other ringing hits- he looked like he was a man playing with boys. Trey is a BEAST. All the pooh-poohing going on is just that. He is going to be huge. I think- Paul Goldschmidt type- huge.

The main reason is that we'd have to put him on the 40-man roster, and then use up his first option sending him down to AAA next year. That would be a foolish thing to do just to get him a handful of at bats in the majors.

Depending on the offseason moves, I give him a decent chance of making the team. A mean a .359 AVG and .980 OPS in AA is enough for me to give him a chance at 1B/DH.

He'll get a shot, but I'd still prefer to keep him off the 40-man unless he makes the team.

What is the typical BABIP of someone who hits .359?

Well, Rogers Hornsby had a career .358 BA and a .365 BABIP. Shoeless Joe Jackson had a .356 BA and .366 BABIP. So maybe Mancini would "only" have hit about .325 with a "normal" gap between BA and BABIP. Pretty hard to complain about his season.

      Yeah, the limited IP so far is small.  But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too.  Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

      I think they’d go with 4 lefties before sending Akin to AAA. If everyone is healthy: SP: Burnes, Grayson, Bradish, Kremer, Means/Irvin RP: Kimbrel, Cano, Coulombe, Perez, Akin, Suárez, Webb/Baumann, Irvin/Means Option: Wells, Tate DFA: Ramirez, Baumann/Webb And then if they want Wells, they either DFA the other of Webb/Baumann or option Akin.  They also have the ability to option Kremer, but he’s really have to pitch poorly for that to happen.

      With Cowser hitting lefties ok so far, not a lot of reason for McKenna. Mateo has already played CF once as well, so they are covered down with defense in CF and Kjerstad brings a much better bat.

      The guys been part of the team for a few years now at this point, do you really think his name is Brian?  Hell I'm guessing the story you linked mentioned his first name at least once.   Also who cares what Roch thinks?  If McKenna was coming back up, he would have a couple days ago instead of 'Silent J'.

      Not his sharpest outing today. Pretty pitch-inefficient. Gave up a series of pretty soft hits. Able to grind thru 4 innings (I assume his day is done) w/ solid results: 7 K, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 R, 86 pitches    Edit: came back out to get 2 outs in the 5th. 94 pitch outing.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      Not just WS contenders, but most Playoff contenders will be looking for bullpen upgrades as the deadline nears....if we're being honest with ourselves, if 70% of the teams have a shot at the playoffs, and the other 30% only have a handful (combined) of quality arms they might consider dealing, we should expect to have to pay a Kings Ransom to outbid those that are competing with us for the talent.  And, therein lies the problem.....we won't get a fair and reasonable deal by Hangout standards, it will have to be an overpay, or we settle for another Flaherty type.  That's just the reality folks. My point  being, be prepared to be disappointed that we had to give up too much, or we didn't get who we really wanted.
