One day, they'll compare him to Jeff McNeil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Mangum https://www.mlb.com/player/jake-mangum-663968?stats=career-r-hitting-minors&year=2019 What caught my eye was this commentary at the press conference after his final college game (scroll for the video): https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/mississippi-state-football/jake-mangum-ncaa-third-paid-assistant-scholarships-2019/ To care about his assistant coaches this deeply says a lot about his character. He was a walk-on in college and played the last two years without a scholarship so the school could give it to someone else: https://mississippitoday.org/2019/06/27/jake-mangums-rest-of-the-story-from-walk-on-to-paltry-signing-bonus/ At Mississippi State, they called him "The Mayor".
