Damn... a fighting Irish post on the same night as a bulldog win. About as rare as they come**

Since Tebow was a Met which happens first. Another Tebow NFL touchdown scored in any way or Mangum's first MLB hit?

tAkE ThAt dReBin!!!

I'm waiting for it. But I'm sure it has nothing to do with the entire AA outfield getting promoted to AAA because the entire AAA outfield got promoted to the majors thanks to the Mets having *sixteen* players on the IL.

But congrats to Jake. I hope he catches a hot streak and sticks when the rest of the organization gets healthy.

Welp he should definitely get a look the Binghamton Rumble Ponies are 1-14 to start the season.

You got it pegged. The sample is small for sure, but jake is rocking a 39.7% k rate, .206 BA, and .289 obp. wOBA is .320, which is avg.

Now the good (or better)...
I think his Babip is a little low at .294. His ISO is .206, which is great for him, but I can't see that holding. His bb rate is 7.9%, so progress there, but this with the high k rate May show he just isn't a work-the-count guy.

Good luck, jake

ETA... now I haven't watched a Mangum PA, so maybe theyre much better than the results. I hope this is the case. Jake is one of my all time favorites. I got a foul ball he hit, and it's one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia... it would be so much better if he made the show

He's one of my all time favorites too. It's a shame that objectivity is considered a bad thing.

I do find it interesting that seven people downvoted a post that hopes jake can stick in AA.

Was Duplantis also promoted?

He had 2 HR’s and 3 BB in only 38 AB’s. Like you said, very small sample size….but both of those seem indicative of a drastically different approach than he had at MSU or even in his half season of A- ball in 2019. I bet he wasn’t getting but one walk per 30 AB’s and probably 1 HR in every 200-300 AB’s at MSU. Add those with the higher K rate, and they may be working more on the “3 outcome” side of his game.

Would like to see him traded to be in the Southern League before he gets promoted - but chances are probably slim.
