Trey Mancini has fallen victim to the Baltimore Orioles and the moribund franchise that they ultimately are. Only once during his now five year career has Mancini seen postseason play, his rookie year. In four full years at the major league level, the Orioles have been arguably the worst team in all of baseball.

In both 2018 and 2019, the Orioles found a way to lose over 100 games. Still, amid all of the losing, he’s been a consistent bright spot for an otherwise pathetic team. In what turned out to be his break year, Mancini put together a memorable 2019 season. He smashed 35 balls out of the park, drove in 97 RBIs, had an OPS of .899 and a slugging percentage of .535. Mancini was nothing short of specular. He would’ve easily been an All-Star selection if the Orioles hadn’t lost 108 games that year.

Even now, amid another horrendous team year, Mancini has managed to still shine. He’s currently on pace to register over 20 homers and close to 100 RBIs. At the age of 29, Mancini still has time to be named an All-Star. But until he finds himself in another uniform, it’s highly unlikely that it happens in Baltimore no matter how great he is.
