Today is an off day for the Orioles, and Trey Mancini, for one, has earned a much-deserved break. Despite missing the entire 2020 season, the Orioles first baseman has been getting consistent playing time in the early going this season.
In case anyone missed it, Mancini has a heart-wrenching and inspiring story from the past year-plus. Orioles beat writer Joe Trezza has a great piece on MLB.com about Trey’s journey since his colon cancer diagnosis in March 2019 if you want a more in-depth look.
While a slow start this year was always expected for someone with as much rust as Mancini, he has excelled in a few specific offensive categories while building up his triple-slash line at the plate.
