Jake Mangum Announces He’s Returning To Mississippi State Baseball

Jake Mangum isn’t leaving Starkville just yet. The Mississippi State baseball team are getting one more season of Mangum as the junior announced his intentions to return to the Bulldogs for his senior season.

Earlier today, Mangum was drafted in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft. The New York Mets selected Mangum, traditionally a centerfielder, as a left handed pitcher. With the 950th pick in the 32nd round of the MLB Draft, the Mets chose to pick Mangum. However, Jake Mangum has no intentions of playing in the Mets organization.

At least not yet.
