Power, pitch, or learn to throw right handed and play 2B or SS.

The being rh thrower is it. If he was he would be Adam Frazier +. He’s a better hitter than Adam. But has one position, cf that it.

Interesting point. Is he a better hitter? I'm really having to think about this one. Lots of stats and clutch performances back up your claim. I think Frazier is a more pure hitter and has shown more pop in pro ball.

Career slash lines...
Frazier .347/.418/.428
Jake .357/.420/.450

I expect him to have a chip on his shoulder and have something to prove. That will be fun to watch

Mangum hits double digit HRs and steals 30 bags next year he'll get drafted higher. His age is obviously a downside but a team might think he's closer to big league time too.

He'll get drafted earlier for sure. Someone will most likely draft him in rounds 7-10. College seniors get drafted in this range all the time bc they save money
