2026 review

Jake Mangum was a speed-and-contact center fielder whose numbers ran ahead of his batted-ball quality, hitting .276/.331/.363 with a 19.4 K% and a 5.2 BB% over 479 PA for PIT, with 5 HR and 23 SB in 133 games. A left hamstring strain put him on the 10-day IL May 8, retroactive to May 6, and he was activated May 17 after missing 11 regular-season days. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 368, he finished 203rd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 165 spots above, and 18th of 70 center fielders. His .310 wOBA ran 25 points above his .285 xwOBA over 479 PA. His 2.3 Barrel% and 27.8 HardHit% over 349 BBE were the 15th lowest and 18th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA, and his 5.2 BB% over 479 PA was the 24th lowest of that same group. His best month was Jun at .329 over 85 AB against .210 over 62 AB in Sep. By late Sep the TDK LABS card had him as a near-everyday outfielder whose regular reps kept him active even as his contact ran behind his results.
