About Trey Mancini:
Mancini currently serves as the Baltimore Orioles' first baseman and outfielder after making his Major League debut in 2016.
The Orioles selected Mancini in the eighth round of the 2013 MLB draft, earning promotions from a number of minor league affiliates in the coming seasons. In 136 games with the Bowie Baysox in 2015, Macini batted .341 with 21 home runs, 89 RBIs and 43 doubles. After a brief stint with Triple-A affiliate Norfolk Tides, Mancini made his MLB debut on September 18, 2016.
In Baltimore, he would go on to become the third player in Major League history to homer in their first three starts, after he hit a solo home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 24, 2016.
Mancini has spent the past four seasons with the Orioles, batting .276 with a total of 86 home runs and 238 RBIs.
Before the majors, Mancini attended Winter Haven High School in Winter Haven, Florida, where he batted .480 with six home runs as a senior. After high school, he attended the University of Notre Dame and pursued a degree in political science. He batted .389 with seven home runs and 54 RBIs in 57 games during his final season in college.
On March 7 of this year, Mancini left the Orioles during spring training to undergo a non-baseball medical procedure. On March 12, it was revealed that the procedure was the removal of a malignant tumor from his colon. On April 28, Mancini revealed he had stage 3 colon cancer and will begin chemotherapy ongoing for six months to treat his cancer.
Mancini is already becoming a spokesperson for things as simple as getting regular physicals and is hopeful for a return to baseball in 2021.
