Trey Mancini

[Triple Crown]

Mancini is heating up nicely, he has his OPS up to 821 for the year. In his last 10 he's hitting at a 450 clip with 7Ks and 4 BBs in 40 AB's. Good to see someone hitting the ball with some authority in the lower levels

Him, dosch, and Wilkerson are three nice little college bats we have. Mancini has to hit for more power and cut down on the K's. But definitely a bright spot so far.

Dosch has been wonderful.

8th Round Pick - Trey Mancini - 1B - Notre Dame (IN)

6'4" 215lbs DOB: 03/18/92

Mancini hit behind presumptive first-rounder Eric Jagielo in Notre Dame's lineup this season, giving the Fighting Irish a formidable one-two punch. While Jagielo is the better all-around prospect, Mancini's power means he can't be ignored. Listed at 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, Mancini is strong and creates good loft with his quick right-handed swing. With his power, however, comes a lot of swing and miss. Mancini needs to improve his pitch recognition to reach his potential as a hitter. Mancini is a capable first baseman, but his value is tied to his bat.

College Profile

Tony's Initial take: I find the above scouting report interesting since his stats don't back up that "he has a lot of swing and miss." He struck out just 23 times in 252 PAs, much better than highly thought of teammate Eric Jagielo. He put up a .389/.431/.603 line with a 21-23 BB-K ratio

Worried about his plate discipline, but nice to see him heating up.

Finally a ND guy that actually wants to play for the O's! I wonder if Stotle has him rated with a little home-cooking? :scratchchinhmm:
